Palisade Head — A Sheer Cliff of Ancient Lava
On Minnesota's North Shore, a wall of ancient reddish rock rises straight out of Lake Superior and stops the land in a single dramatic drop. From its brink the great lake spreads to the horizon, cold and blue and seemingly endless, while behind you the autumn forest burns with color. It is one of the most striking overlooks on the entire shore, a place where the edge of a continent hangs over an inland sea. Welcome to Palisade Head. Filmed October 2023.
