The hike to the summit of Mount Ida was totally worth it. We accidentally hiked through the Boulder field, but still managed to make it all the way up. The views from the top were insane and gave you views that literally took your breath away.

My family and I hiked up to the peaks earlier this morning, and if you catch a clear day, the views at the top are more than worth the rocky terrain and steep grade towards the very top.

Winchell was a great hike for anyone around Minneapolis/Saint Paul looking for a little adventure. The trails change between pavement and dirt, which is nice.
