This spring gravel adventure launches from downtown Grand Marais and offers three distance options—26, 54, or 110 miles—each climbing progressively more elevation as you venture from Lake Superior's shoreline into the stunning Sawtooth Range and north woods filled with pine, aspen, and birch trees. You'll ride a mix of well-maintained Forest Service and county gravel roads, with the longest option featuring a particularly rugged 5-mile rocky section that may include a stream crossing, while all routes reward you with beautiful Lake Superior vistas as you return to the charming town. Plan to bring a gravel bike equipped with 35-45mm tires to handle this scenic showcase of Minnesota's natural beauty.
