Beautiful park
So much to see. Didn’t do much hiking this time would go back. Headwaters of the Mississippi were beautiful.

Wonderful place to take our two Doxie babies!
Spent 3 warm days in and around Itasca state park with Joshua and Sabrina our Daschunds and they had a wonderful time. No ticks or bites at all. (we used a tick and flea repellant with mosquito repellant on top of that. they came home bug free. Couldn't have asked for a more wonderful 3 days.
