Trees of the Winchell Trail
We put a fence,
and life goes on,
“adaptation and growth”
and life goes on,
“death”
(this tree is decomposing into BLOCKS !)
.
Here’s a scenic part of the trail

Winchell Trail / Mississippi Gorge Regional park
“The trail is located along the only true gorge on the Mississippi River, formed as Saint Anthony Falls retreated to the north. There are many unusual geologic formations in this area such as Hajduk Spring and Bridal Veil Falls. A bronze plaque on a boulder from the Mesabi Iron Range commemorates the scientific work and other contributions of Newton Horace Winchell. The boulder is near the beginning of the trail at the F. W. Cappelen Memorial (Franklin Avenue) Bridge.â€

Hi Ethan- Love your photos. I am putting together a brochure with beautiful places to run in the Twin Cities and was wondering if I could use your image of the Winchell Trail path. Thanks so much. My email is amluke9@gmail.com.
