Superior Hiking Trail celebrates 40th anniversary

One of Minnesota’s most scenic and longest hiking trails turns 40 this year. The Superior Hiking Trail began as a grassroots effort by hiking enthusiasts who wanted to create a long-distance trail in the state. The trail, which loosely follows the rocky spine overlooking Lake Superior, is popular with hikers who explore it each season.
