Giants Ridge Golf and Ski Resort
Giants Ridge is located in Biwabik, Minnesota. Its name is derived from the Ojibwe word for iron: Biwabiko-nabik-wan. Long valued for its iron ore, today, Biwabik is a travel destination. The community, a trailhead of the historic Mesabi Trail, is the home of the "Honk the Moose" statue, a well-lit paved walking trail and a sledding hill.

Biwabik is host to several seasonal festivals including: the Fourth of July, on which Biwabik presents the area's largest Calithumpian Fourth of July Parade; and Weihnachtsfest (the first Saturday in December), a Christmas lighting celebration complete with fireworks, ethnic food, music and entertainment.
