Duluth North Shore September 16 -18, 2016

Duluth, Minnesota

Stayed at a cute little cottage 1/2 block from a Lake Superior sandy beach on Park Point, just off the Lift Bridge in Duluth.

The Detterman's Place


Dinner was at Canal Brewery

Saturday 9-17 we headed up the north shore of Lake Superior
to Gooseberry Falls
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/gooseberry_falls/index.htmlwhere we hiked the upper and lower falls.
















Had lunch at the Rustic Inn Cafe near Two Harbors
I highly recommend the Onion Rings and the Pie!!!

Next we drove to Split Rock Lighthouse, toured the original site and went into the park to two different beaches.

Such a beautiful place and a beautiful day.

Sunday we walked from Park Point downtown to JJ Aster rotating restaurant for breakfast.  I highly recommend the chocolate chip 
buttermilk pancakes!!!!
