American tall tales don’t get any taller than Paul Bunyan. Sitting around frontier campfires, loggers and traders swapped stories about the lumberjack whose mighty ax carved the Grand Canyon. And how his sidekick, Babe the Blue Ox, dug out Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes.
That said, a road trip from Maine can find the twists and turns of these tales (above, the “World’s Largest Animated Talking Bunyan”). Along the way, Nat Geo discovers, surprisingly, little bits of truth.
