This is a great video! Thank you for sharing! Most people think Minnesota is the Twin Cities, but we locals know the North Shore, is God's Country, truly!!!

Only locals know Betty’s pies is a tourist trap if you are wanting really good pie on the north shore head to the rustic inn best pies on the shore!

Thanks for the tip! Going to try it next time we are there. Even if Betty's has become a bit of a tourist trap the pie was still really good, but I'm not a pie connoisseur 😉

Betty’s Pies was good years ago. It has declined in quality over the years with its new owners. Rustic Inn is far superior (pun intended). Go elsewhere for pie.

From Chicago area, just took a motorcycle trip up there! We stopped in Knife River went to Russ Kendals smoke house for smoked fish. A must do when visiting the area. Thanks.

Grand Marais is a favorite of our family. A quaint little town that feels just right. Great place to stay as a base camp for day trips to many different hikes.

Agreed it's a great place to set out from on day trips!

The split rock lighthouse tour is totally worth it, not for the lighthouse, but because of the lighthouse keeper houses. It gives you a real sense of how they lived then. I go every 5 years or so. Glensheen in Duluth is also totally worth a visit.

I absolutely love this video. I'm originally from Duluth, Minnesota and I miss my home state. Living out of state makes me appreciate all that I've seen and been able to do up the North Shore of Minnesota Highway 61 North. Thank you for providing such a beautiful video. It brought me to tears on how much I love and miss it.

Great video! And beautiful family! Duluth and the north shore is a favorite our family

Love North Shore in fall. Here’s my list-Canal park, Gooseberry park, Black beach, drive up to Palisade. like hiking? Baptism river, Caribou Falls, Sugar cove, Temperance river. Best half day hikes-Oberg Trail, Cascade river. Take a drive up on Maple Leaf Drive to see leaf’s change colors.

Loved Temperance River! I'm from Kansas and when I visited the North Shore in 2020 it was truly a life-altering experience. Incredible fall foliage, waterfalls, cliffs, mountain hikes with magnificent views of Lake Superior. Mount Oberg was great and I also really enjoyed Mount Carlton.

One of my favorite North Shore vistas is Palisade Head, just past Silver Bay (heading northeast).

I've been going up to the north shore since I was a kid. One of my favorite memories is stopping at your "old school" souvenir shops. The one place that myself and my family stop at every time is Tom's Logging Camp. Other than the great souvenir shopping, they also have an old logging camp tour available. The owners are terrific and enjoy talking with their customers. I HIGHLY recommend this stop go those that enjoy going back in time.

Thanks for a great look around the North Shore! I definitely want to go there and do some camping and hiking. Happy Trails

I have been "planning" this trip for about a year as a honeymoon trip for when my husband gets here as we have been waiting over 4yrs for his visa leaving his country. Taking notes and need to watch this one again a few more times. I live in mid Iowa.

The North Shore is magnificent! I've been going up for years. In fact I'm heading up tomorrow to go to the Festival of Sails in Two Harbors⛵ Nice video mate💯🤗

For winter activities you overlooked and didn’t mention down hill skiing at Lutsen!

Such a great video! You did a phenomenal job. Can't wait to take the road trip with the family 🙌

I visited Minneapolis in October 2023 and I've already made up my mind to drop by again in oct 2024

The north shore is definitely one of the best places I’ve been, it’s definitely the place I feel most at home, planning on moving to Duluth once my lease is up. You got pretty much everything, only thing you missed of mine is if you like coffee you have to go to Java moose in grand Marais, I live in a city with tons of coffee shops but none of them even compare to this place, they have a store and a lil concession stand type shop on the beach, I only ever go to the one on the beach

Hey thanks for the comment and letting us know about Java Moose. I'm not a coffee guy, but love comments where people share their favorite spots as well. That way other viewers can benefit. The North Shore is a special place for sure 😁

Wow, that is committment! I have family in Northern Minnesota (not Duluth) and have spent a lot of time there. Love it, but the weather is harsh and the politics for the state are completey driven by the Twin Cities, if that matters to you.

One of the best things about going to the North Shore is stopping in Hinckley on the way up and getting a (HUGE!) (delicious!) cinnamon roll from Tobie’s!

Very cool video thanks so much. My family and I are planning a vacation there last week of September, we live in North Carolina.

Don't forget to park in any of our fabulous garages where the lot parking may cost $30 for 8 hours, but the homeless man stabbing you is included. Don't forget to ask about the free car break-in window smashing service, or finding orange syringe caps in your upscale hotel room from the hordes of roaming sex workers that keep our many hospitality institutions in varying states of solvency

You will love it, just do a little research to familiarize yourself so you don’t miss anything while heading up the north shore. If you have time on your way home swing over to Bayfield, it’s on the Wisconsin side. You can take a ferry around the apostle islands for a tour or over in cornucopia you can kayak out to the sea caves…..it’s amazing !!! But don’t go on your own, go with an outfitter, they have all the equipment, have experienced guides and are watching the weather closely! Things change quickly out there and there are no landing spots just sheer cliffs, so pay the $60-100 ? And be safe ! Have a wonderful time !!!

The North shore and the Boundary Waters are our Minnesota favorites for sure. Just across the lake the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Wisconsin is also incredible. Enjoy your time out there!

The daily fee of $7 is good for all state parks for that day. So if you are doing this all in one or two days you may still want to pay the daily fee. I always encourage people to buy the annual pass though, there are so many beautiful parks in Minnesota including 8 on the North Shore.

They don’t mine iron ore at Cliff Mining near Black Beach. They process ore into taconite.

Why would you not stop in Two Harbors, they have a light house there, and places big ships stop to load and drop off, I live in Duluth but Two Harbors has history as well that don't get talked about 😢

No North Shore Scenic Railroad 😭

You missed agate hunting.
