I’m so excited to be offering this month our first ever Nordic Walking Getaway Weekend on the lovely shores of Lake Superior!! I go up to this area every chance I get, because there’s such a nice mix of trails, lodging, art and good places to eat! We’ll be based out of one of my favorite places to stay on the North Shore – Cascade Lodge– a cozy, historic lodge which overlooks the lake and adjoins the state park. Over the weekend we’ll have plenty of time for walking the trails, exploring Grand Marais, dining and having fun together! The weekend runs from the evening of Friday, October 30th – Sunday, Nov. 1st, and includes:
- Friday evening social and presentations by local experts
- Nordic walking lesson: How to build strength and reduce strain by relaxing MORE!
- 3 guided walks on trails in the Cascade/Grand Marais area
- Time for shopping/sightseeing in Grand Marais
- Saturday evening Nordic walking entertainment
- Digital photography option – for those of you who’d like to get a little more familiar with your digital camera in an inspiring and scenic area!
Cost is $89 (meals not included), and beginners and non-Nordic walkers are also welcome. This is a great chance to try Nordic walking and bring your friends! The walking technique lesson I’ll be doing is based on instruction and experience I’ve had recently that has really transformed how I walk – with and without poles – and I’m eager to share it with you. Since the idea is to relax more in the way you walk (while still building strength), doing this during a weekend getaway seems like the perfect setting!
Lodging is available at Cascade Lodge for the special fall room rate of $55/night for a standard double lodge room (cabin upgrade also available). Guests receive 10% off at the Lodge restaurant. Call (218) 387-2911 or visit www.cascadelodgemn.com to make a reservation.

Nordic Walk for Life!
