Winchell Trail Minneapolis

Looking across the Mississippi River
to St. Paul from Minneapolis
I'm actually writing this in November...a month after taking this hike. It has stuck with me all this time for a few reasons.

This is a trail along the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. Not on the outskirts of Minneapolis but right in Minneapolis. I have ridden my bike past here dozens of times, and the Minnesota AIDS Project Walk-a-thon went along the parkway above here, but I had never ventured down to the river.

It just goes to show you that there are so many places to explore in your own backyard.

Fall is one of my favorite seasons with cooler temperatures and all the colors. Video link.
