Be sure to take the scenic drive around the top of Duluth called the Skyline Parkway. The views are awesome and you also see some beautiful old homes and new ones too. More

It is a little disconnected in spots but worth the drive to see ENger Park and Hawk's Ridge. Portions of the road, especially around Hawk's Ridge are so poor that transiting is not recommended but if you can,... More

How many times have we visited Duluth and the North Shore, only to look up at the hills and wonder who lives up there and how do they climb the hills in snowy winter?! Well, now we know!
