Mount Josephine is a majestic summit in the Sawtooth Mountains that overlooks Wauswaugoning Bay, Isle Royale, Grand Portage Bay of Lake Superior, the Susie Islands, and Pigeon Point. Located on the Grand Portage Reservation, the mountain offers visitors a moderately strenuous hike to its peak, with an elevation of approximately 1,342 feet. Visitors can access the main trail from the side of Highway 61. However, hikers who want a less vigorous or time-consuming trek can choose to ascend from the small parking area in the village of Grand Portage, taking the assigned trail up approximately 656 feet to an area where an old fire tower and several lookout points are situated.
