Why you should go…
Grand Portage National Monument preserves a center of the fur trade and Anishinaabe Ojibwe heritage on the north shore of Lake Superior. You can walk through the reconstructed Great Hall of the North West Company depot beneath Mount Rose, and see exhibits on Ojibwe culture and the fur trade at the Heritage Center. The Grand Portage itself is an 8.5-mile footpath that bypassed the falls and rapids of the lower Pigeon River.
