In 1879, Minnesota State Geologist Newton Horace Winchell surveyed the Arrowhead region of Minnesota. Once on the north shore of Lake Superior, he left Grand Marais to travel inland through what is now the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. His route followed the historic Iron Trail, to the Voyager Route and then descended back to Lake Superior via an Ojibwe canoe route on the Poplar River. In this presentation, professional landscape photographer Bryan Hansel will speak about how he recreated the route using a combination of existing infrastructure and bushwhacks. The solo canoe trip took Hansel approximately two weeks. It was 160 miles and included about 30 miles of portages.
