Minnesota Grants Awarded
2007
Ely’s Peak Climbers Parking Lot, Trail & Kiosk, Duluth, Minnesota (2007)
A grant was awarded to Access Fund Affiliate, Minnesota Climbers Association, for an access trail, parking lot, and kiosk construction at Ely’s Peak. A local Duluth crag, Ely’s Peak, has been a regional climbing destination for over 30 years. The new trail and parking lot will provide great access to the crags and cut the approach time in half. The kiosk will provide information about the natural and cultural history of the area and about minimum impact practices for climbers.
