Through a very strange set of circumstances my wife and I found ourselves at Tettegouche State Park, this past weekend, walking through a surreal icy landscape. This photo was taken on the cliffs above Lake Superior just south of the Baptism River. The photo doesn't really do the scene justice. It was just impossible to capture the experience of walking around this alien landscape covered in ice.
There is a more detailed description of the day's events and more photos on my Blog
as well as additional photos on my Website.
I suspect the ice formations will last for a little while if anyone is interested. These were taken on Sunday, three days after the storm. You can call the park to check of their status.

Phil, You really managed to come away with a really nice collection! I won't be able to make it up there for the ice but I'm always looking for other trails to explore in Tettegouche. I'm familiar with the trail that follows the river on the north side. Is there another trail to the cliffs located on the south side of the Baptism River too? How far was it to reach the cliffs? Is that the one you took? Would you mind giving me directions to the faint trail located just north of Tettegouche? If you prefer not to publish it here please feel free to email me if you don't mind disclosing the location.

If you go to the Tettegouche State Park website, click on maps then on campground map. The first map shows the trails along the cliffs south of the river. These are really not hiking trails since they lead to walk in campground sites. The ice was at campground E on the map.
Very nice image and capture, Phil. I was on the N Shore in July last summer and did Split Rock and Gooseberry. Didn't make it to Tettegooche. Hope to get back some day soon
