Welcome to my blog focused on travel, outdoor recreation, and adventure throughout the beautiful Great Lakes region.
Here you’ll find information on scenic hiking and biking trails, lakes, Great Lakes beaches, local food and cultural experiences throughout the region. From a Northwoods Wisconsin trail to the vast southern shore of Lake Superior, I share my experiences throughout the Upper Midwest (and occasionally my wider travels)!
My goal is to encourage everyone – at every age and stage of life – to get out in nature, explore, and enjoy all that this beautiful region has to offer.
A bit about me….
My name is Erin – lifelong resident of the Great Lakes region. I am a proud advocate of our beautiful lakes, trails, waterways, and open spaces. Thanks to my adventure-loving parents, I have traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and Canada. My travels include visits to 46 states, 26 national parks, forests, monuments, mountains, and coastlines. Throughout my travels, I have learned to appreciate the wealth of beauty in this region. I am proud to call this beautiful area home.
On the professional side, I have taught Environmental Science, Geology and Geography for over 20 years. I am always in search of a new adventure or learning experience. The Great Gitche Gumee, our largest Great Lake, keeps me in constant awe. It is a lifelong mission to learn all I can about the Great Lakes – and to experience the beauty throughout the region.
On the personal side, I am an avid runner, hiker, biker, skier, photographer, and farmer’s market aficionado. I am a true rock hound and love to comb beaches for unique treasures. I love to share my passion and excitement for silent sports, travel, food, and adventure in the Great Lakes region.
From a remote stretch of Lake Superior beach to a wooded segment of the Ice Age Trail, you’ll find peace. Gliding along a silent snowy cross country ski trail or enjoying the bustle of a capitol city, you’ll meet wonderful people. Enjoying the charm of a small Wisconsin town or a comforting meal at a local supper club, you’ll find history, culture, and great food!
