No one ever should hit the trail without a topo map. Here are topo maps for three day hikes in the popular Ely, Minn. region.
Located in the Superior National Forest, Ely is a major gateway to the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness Area. Three state parks – most notably Bear Head Lake State Park – are nearby.
Trails are marked in yellow on the maps. Click each map or open it a new window for a larger, printable version.
