Itasca - 4th of July week, 2012

We went to Itasca State Park for 8 nights over the 4th of July.  We missed getting here last year because of the state shutdown.  We had hot beautiful weather with the exception of one night when a very fast storm came through and took down quite a few trees.  There is so much to do at Itasca - we walked, swam, biked over 100 miles, took out a paddle boat and golfed twice at a nearby course.

The beginning of the Wilderness drive (you can also bike it as it's a one way road)  From the campsite and back it's a total of 17 miles
 Here's what the Wilderness trail looks like
