International Wolf Center

A visit to the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minnesota offered engaging presentations, immersive exhibits, and one wolf napping by the viewing window. Ely, the Gateway to the Boundary Waters, has small-town charm and a deep outdoor spirit. The day ended at a rural Harvest Host farm, where a hardworking 17-year-old cared for the place while his grandmother was away—a glimpse of the dedication found in these quiet corners.
