Caribou Hunter Walking is a 6.3-mile loop hike in the Tofte Ranger District of Superior National Forest in Minnesota, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is rated hard, with a total elevation gain of 472 feet and a total loss of 678 feet over the course of the loop. The steepest stretch comes at about 2.2 miles in, where the grade reaches 12 percent. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows bikes. It is not an accessible trail. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station at Lutsen run to a high of 73°F and a low of 54°F, and the station sits about 350 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the route run a little cooler. Spur G and Spur A are both short walking routes within about a mile. White Sky Rock is about 1.3 miles away. For an overnight stay, White Pine Lake Campground is about 3.8 miles off.
