On Wednesday we took advantage of the cool temperatures and clean air for a nice long hike at Willow River State Park, across the border in Wisconsin. It was great to stretch our legs after a long stretch of hot, smoky weather! Being the middle of the week, the falls were not overrun with other tourists, so we got to explore the side pools and trickles in the cool shade. #Hiking #Huskies #DogsOfMastodon #Waterfall

After two days stuck in the house because of wildfire smoke, things cleared enough for us to escape back to the woods! It's still hot and humid, so we chose a shady hike at Nerstrand Big Woods, and routed our hike to pass Hidden Falls on the way out AND back. Not much water going over the falls, but it was enough to keep the pond at the bottom fresh enough for wading. #Huskies #Hiking

We got moving early to avoid mid-day heat and also managed to miss much of the chaos that tends to congregate at the falls. We had it all to ourselves for a nice stretch. #Huskies #Hiking
