Hike to Carlton Peak


 Today I finally decide to hike to Carlton Peak.  It's only supposed to get to upper 60's so it's a perfect day for a 9 mile hike.  We leave at 6:30 a.m.

Sun is out by the time we get to Temperance River 1.5 miles up the road.  Tucson goes for a pre-hike dip and a drink.

Stairs, of course there are stairs, this is Minnesota after all


Oh good a map and a secret password!


At least I know where I am now and only 3 miles to go.

A rest area

With a view!

 2 more miles to go


Tucson spots a squirrel along the way

Down on the boardwalk . . . 


Rocky Road

On a definite incline now


Nice to have a pull assist dog


Uh oh, looks like we've still got a ways to go




More pull assist



The log book is full but I found a page where someone has drawn a dog that looks a bit like Tucson so I squeeze a comment in next to it.

Still not at the Summit


Looks like views ahead






We made it!  4.5 miles in just over 2 hours, not bad


Snack time!
