Hike Mount Rose
Grand Portage National Monument
Hike to the top of Mount Rose for a spectacular view of Grand Portage Bay and beyond – on a clear day, Isle Royale is visible! From a protective stone wall, get a bird's eye view of the depot or look west to the gap in the land where the voyageurs transported goods along Gichi Onigaming, the Grand Portage Trail. Learn about the ancient geology that created the rugged beauty of the North Shore landscape.

Learn about the ancient geology that created the rugged beauty of the North Shore landscape. The Mount Rose hike is available year-round – see which animals left their tracks in the snow! In spring, watch the snow recede and the leaves unfurl while many wildflowers emerge. In early summer, bring your binoculars or listen for returning birds. The surrounding forest in fall is loaded with fiery color.
