Now for some fun facts about the Willard Munger Trail: The Willard Munger Trail is a system of trails between Hinckley Mn and Duluth Mn. The Hinckley to Duluth Trail (Part of the Willard Munger System) This is the most popular part of the trail, that is a paved path that starts in Hinckley and goes north-east to Duluth.This is one of the longest trails in the world, it almost 70 mile long. From start to finish,you'll travel through a lot of communities on this one, including Willow River, Moose Lake, Barnum, and Historic Carlton then obviously ending in Duluth. This trail even goes through a couple parks, and many pack for their journey while hiking it, or perhaps biking/rollerblading and camp out at Jay Cooke State Park, or bike over to Banning State Park, and rest up for the night before hitting the trail again in the morning. It's also nice having a couple places to camp along the trail, including near this cache about 1/4 west of GZ. The most beautiful part of this trail system would have to be between Carlton and Duluth, and it's about a 15 mile stretch that is absolutely breath-takingly beautiful. The dense forests, the rock bluffs, and formations make some great photos to take, and have a memory of your experience while exploring this part of the trail system. So make sure you bring a camera along. Some great views of Lake Superior as well. Many ask themselves what was the historical purpose of this trail, because it's pretty obvious that at one time, this could have been an old railroad sytem. We'll you are all right! This old railroad line was once originally part of the St Paul & Duluth Railroad.Iron Ore,including loads of lumber were hauled to be shipped out from the Duluth Harbors. As time went on, new railroad sytems were created, and other means of shipping came into play, that was probably more affordable at the time, and a railroad that was once a vital organ of the wilds of Northen Minnesota became obsolete. This trail system was named in honor of Willard Munger Willard Munger was a state legislator who devoted his legislative career to trail development and environmental protection from 1954 until his death in 1999. He was a real pioneer at the time who cared about the wilderness of Minnesota, and wanted to preserve its beauty. A true Minnesota hero, and a trail system deserving of his name. Thanks again Willard for making a trail we all truly can enjoy! So what are you waiting for? Grab your best cachers and let your journey begin! Sk8erfamily
