DEER RIVER - MINNESOTA
Driving Up North in Minnesota brings you into a forest known past and present for its cathedral of pines. Minnesota Highway 46 heads NW out of Deer River northward into the Chippewa National Forest and takes you on a wonderful drive thru some of the most dense areas of pine covered woods left in Minnesota. The Avenue of the Pines Scenic Byway begins in Deer River and runs 46 miles thru the national forest ending in Northome. I have selected three miles of the "pineiest" section of road and recorded it. Most of the byway is not like this but rather a mix of hardwoods, birch and other trees. This short section is by far my favorite. You can find this section a couple of miles north of the Cut Foot Sioux Visitor Information Center. This is the view heading north. As always pictures and video never do justice to the splendor and majesty one comes in contact with when you actually drive thru here. At least my attempts at capturing it never have!
