Earlier this summer, blue painted blazes were discovered on a hiking trail in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The markings are commonly used on trails outside the wilderness, such as the Superior Hiking Trail, but are prohibited on trails in designated wilderness areas.
The Superior Hiking Trail Association reported that the Forest Service contacted the organization after the discovery to help educate the public about the problem.
