Although you may not be able to go on safari in Minnesota – not exactly, anyway – you can get a similar feel by spending the night in the state’s great North Woods, among towering pines, under the Milky Way and the aurora, lulled by the calling of loons. You may not see Africa’s “big five” animals, but you may just get to see four of the Bold North’s own species of charismatic megafauna: moose, gray wolf, black bear, and Canada lynx – all of which can be found in the Ely area, where the Eagle Yurt at Wilderness Wind is located.
