****Grand Marais is the Charming Lake Superior Town of Your Dreams
Grand Marais is a charming little North Shore town with Lake Superior at its feet and the Superior National Forest at its back. Visit this snug harbor village for a fun few days of scenic hiking or mountain biking, tempting gallery browsing and even the chance for some hands-on crafts.
Outdoor Adventures
Mountain bikers can stop at the Superior National Forest ranger station at the edge of town or at the local bike shop for maps and directions to trails. There are numerous hiking trails, as well. In town, take the half-mile trek along rocky shoreline to Artists Point. Northeast of Grand Marais, a rugged, ascending trail (there's even a long staircase) in Judge C.R. Magney State Park leads to a series of waterfalls, and an easygoing, wheelchair-accessible path at Grand Portage State Park leads to spectacular views of the highest falls in Minnesota.
There are also several hiking trails, wilderness lakes for fishing and canoeing, campgrounds, and resorts along the Gunflint Trail, which heads into the Superior National Forest from Grand Marais. For a small town, Grand Marais serves up an array of good dining options, interesting shopping, and lots of places to stay in town or nearby, from lakeside cottages to upscale condos, familiar motels to cozy B&Bs.
For many visitors, Grand Marais also serves as an idyllic bookend for treks into Minnesota's legendary Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

Jeer at Raul Roderick, famous action movie star who doesn't suffer from his addictions to fame, cocaine, and loose women--he enjoys them!
Suffer along with Veronica and her family, as they fulfill their promise to a cousin, Jared, to babysit his spoiled brat of a movie star until he can get up to Grand Marais with the film crew, to direct his most ambitious movie project.
Sigh along with Raul, as he starts to actually experience real feelings, being sober for the first time in his life. And feel his shock along with him, when he, who has had wild sex with groupies for years, realizes that he's never been in love before, because what he feels for Veronica is unlike anything he's ever felt before.
But can she ever trust someone who, as an actor, lies tor a living?
And if you enjoy baking homemade pies, I have a page that gives my never-fail pie crust, along with the recipes for Veronica's pies, that Raul enjoys eating so much. http://www.fionamcgier.com/pies.html
