Purple haze: Minnesota’s Border Route, a 250-mile journey along the waters that separate the U.S. and Canada, is becoming an increasingly coveted passage among adventure travelers. There are gorgeous lakes to paddle, thriving Indigenous communities, wildlife to see, and almost-complete solitude, Nat Geo reports. “It’s literally the one place I’ve been where there’s no hustle and bustle. The only thing to do is move, make it to your next camping spot, and realize the beauty around you,” says Emily Ford, who chose to ski it.
