Shuttle Reservations

Superior Hiking Shuttle service is under permit with the Superior National Forest




We will start taking reservations for the
2024 Hiking Season on May 1, 2024!

 

If you need a reservation for 05/01/2024 or earlier, please make that reservation request now.  Bob will handle that request.
If you need a reservation for a date after 05/01/2024, we would ask that you wait until 05/01/2024 to put that reservation request in.  Charles will be back in the office starting Wednesday, May, 1, 2024 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to start processing reservations for the 2024 season and to answer your questions.

Customized Shuttle Service

  • Our Customized Shuttle Service is available year-round, six days a week: Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
  • Our Customized Shuttle Service is generally not available on Wednesdays.  If you need a reservation for a Wednesday, please call the office.
  • Reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to shuttle and driver availability.

Shuttle Locations: We have shuttles based in these three Minnesota locations: Castle Danger, Duluth, and Grand Marais.

    • This helps makes reservations more cost-effective for you by reducing the total mileage we drive.
    • Shuttles at these three locations are available for all of the six days that we are open for business.

A reservation request can be made online 24 hours/day:  Reserve Now
You can also call us at (218) 834-5511 during our 2024 office hours: Monday-Friday, 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., starting May 1, 2024.

  • Custom Reservations must be placed at least three days in advance.
  • If you need a reservation less than three days from now, please call us at (218) 834-5511. We will always do our best to make it happen.

If you have an emergency on the trail, or need to make a last minute reservation change outside of our office hours:

  • Text us at (218) 834-5511.
  • Please do not text us requests for new reservations.  They should be handled online or by calling us.

Our Safety Guidelines

  • Each vehicle will be restricted to only one group at a time (with group sizes ranging from one to six hikers) for the entire duration of the ride from pick-up to drop-off.
  • We also have installed plexiglass dividers that separate the driver from the rear passengers.
  • The vehicle interiors will be fully sanitized at a minimum of once a day.
  • Face masks may be required to be worn by everybody on board, depending on current recommendations by government agencies. We recommend that you come prepared to wear a mask in case it is required. If it’s not required, but you want everyone to wear masks, just let your driver know. We are more than happy to comply. Your safety and comfort is important to us.

We really value your business and safety, and look forward to assisting you during this year’s hikes on the Superior Hiking Trail. We are excited to get out to the trails again after this lengthy winter.

See you on the trail!

Information to Help You Plan Your Hike

Interstate 35 Construction

If your travel to the Superior Hiking Trail includes driving on I-35 (through Duluth), we recommend adding extra time to your schedule, or finding an alternate route as you approach Duluth.  I-35 Construction and delays are expected all summer long.  The construction is happening near the I-535 interchange.  See the MN DOT website for more information.

Superior Hiking Trail Association

We love our friends at the Superior Hiking Trail Association. They have a lot of great information on their website.

For your convenience, here are some links we recommend:

We really recommend their new Superior Hiking Trail Databook.

  • It’s small (5″ x 7″, and about 1/4″ thick)
  • Lightweight
  • It’s filled with data, such as hiking distances, elevation profiles, and distances between campsites
  • It’s a wonderful tool to plan your hikes on the Superior Hiking Trail
  • They also have other guidebooks and maps to make your hiking and planning easier.
