This National Trails Day, join Keweenaw National Historical Park Ranger Lynette for a guided outdoor walk that will give you a glimpse into a historic landscape formed of and by copper which dominates the Keweenaw Peninsula. Hiking along a portion of the North Country Trail, you'll start at Old Victoria's log cabins and see the ruins of the Victoria Mine and community. After the hike, you'll also have an opportunity to partake in a pre-season tour of Old Victoria's log cabins! This event is completely free and open to the public. Expect about two hours for the complete experience.
