Wild Night Life

     Most of the nightlife you hear about on the Gunflint Trail has to do with how many moose crossed the path of my car on my way home from town.  There is other nightlife in this area if you are interested in doing something after your full day of winter activities.  Almost too many opportunities for nightlife if you’re a resident, but if you’re vacationing in the area then it’s probably just right.  Check out all of these awesome opportunities and plan your next vacation for the Gunflint Trail or North Shore.
