Agree with you on both counts. Not a lot of people have ever taken the drive down Hwy 11 though, so I wasn't sure if anyone would even know what I was talking about That, and it's a pretty intimidating road for those that are used to flat and straight. Nothing like running into a logging truck on a hairpin curve... The whole Sioux Narrows area is one of the many hidden gems of Canada.

My only complaint about Superior park is that a) you have to drive through the worst fog in the world, and b) it's so FAR from everything (unless you live in the Soo). But yeah. Driving through there in October, when the leaves are changing - AWESOME.
