How to Enjoy Crosby-Cuyuna, MN<\/h2>\n

If you are looking for a peaceful getaway trip where you can enjoy what northern Minnesota offers, I highly suggest visiting the Crosby, Minnesota area. Crosby has a rich history of iron ore mines, where many of the abandoned pits are filled with water. The area is laced with trails in the countryside. <\/p>\n

History<\/h2>\n

I love the history of Crosby, especially the iron ore mines. I had many family members involved in the mines in northern Minnesota, so learning and seeing was impactful for me personally.<\/p>\n

One of the most notable figures in Crosby\u2019s history is Major David Simon.<\/a> He climbed into a small capsule and traveled in a balloon. He was in the capsule for 44 hours and reached an altitude of 110,000 feet. He collected much valuable information on altitude effects on the human body, which was later used by NASA. He was the first person to see the curvature of the earth from space. He found the sunset and sunrise particularly moving. He also realized the stars were not twinkling due to the lack of atmosphere. Here is a mural on Dr. Simon painted on one of the Crosby downtown businesses.<\/p>\n

Cuyuna Cove<\/h2>\n

We stayed at the Cuyuna Cove<\/a> Resort on the edge of Crosby, MN. If you are looking for a simple place to relish in nature, I suggest staying here. Amenities are limited, but if you looking for peace and quiet, this will meet your needs and amenities will take a back seat. Frankly, your cabin is in the woods. You will hear the stillness and sounds of nature. <\/p>\n

Trails<\/h2>\n

If you enjoy nature, walking or biking, . the Crosby area is worth making the trek. The trails are an easy ride. You will<\/em> see wildlife. In fact, we saw a bear on the trail. Yes, a little freak out, but bears are common in northern Minnesota. <\/p>\n
