What is the Superior Hiking Shuttle?

Superior Shuttle Fleet

The Superior Shuttle can be used by backpackers, day hikers, and travelers to see more of the Superior Hiking Trail. Rather than making an in/out hike from a trailhead, catch the shuttle to make a one-way hike.

There are two ways to take a one-way hike on the Superior Hiking Trail:

  • The first way is to catch the shuttle that takes you to the starting point of your hike and then you hike back to your vehicle.
  • The second way is to hike first and then take the shuttle back to your vehicle.

We highly recommend the first way.  Our experience shows that it is much easier to time out meeting the shuttle while driving your car, rather than after a multi-day hike, with the many factors that can affect your daily hiking mileage.  But we are more than willing to pick you up at the end of your hike if that is your wish!

  • 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. We reserve that day for preventive maintenance on our vehicles. If you need a reservation for a Wednesday, please call the office. If we have a vehicle and driver available, we are more than happy to make that happen.
  • Reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to shuttle and driver availability.

A reservation request can be made online 24 hours/day:  Reserve Now

  • If you need a reservation less than three days from now, please call us at (218) 834-5511 during normal office hours, or text us if it’s outside of our office hours.  We will do our best to book your reservation request.

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

  • Text us at (218) 834-5511.
  • Someone will get back with you to help you.
  • Please do not text us requests for new reservations that are more than 3 days away.
    They should be handled online or by calling us.
