Taste of the Gunflint Trail by Women of the Gunflint Trail

Northeastern Minnesota's Gunflint Trail area, a rugged and remote place, has been home to a great number of incredible women. These pioneering women worked side-by-side with parents, spouses and neighbor friends to clear roads, build cabins and operate successful resorts and outfitters. In addition to meeting the demands of owning and running businesses, most also did all the resort's laundry, cooked for guests and raised a family. For better than half of the Trail's history, all this was accomplished without the benefit of electricity and running water.

This is a real taste of what life was like on the Gunflint Trail, and how it's changed with time. Read women's stories about wildlife encounters, driving the winding Trail, raising kids and surviving winter in the wilderness. A Taste of the Gunflint Trail captures the history and spirit of these unfettered women, the place they love and their hearty recipes.
