Fantasia Overlook
Superior Hiking Trail
Kim, Cash and I walked the Fantasia Overlook portion of the Superior Hiking Trail near Silver Bay on January 10, 2025, while on our anniversary vacation. There had not been much snow yet this year so the hike was fairly easy on a crunchy snow pack. The view out to Lake Superior was beautiful as was the look inland over the small lake. This was a nice short out-and-back hike to get us “going” on our trip.
