Perfect Beauty – Perfect Time
I’m sure I am biased. But frankly, I don’t know of a better timeto visit Lutsen and the North Shore than early Spring. Why, the reasons are many. The spring peepers – are peeping. The hiking trails are virgin. The north shore streams are rushing with great power. The three season forest service and logging roads [...]

Downhill skiing had powder days with more to come. A couple three weeks later, it disappeared. Wow. So…..what do you do……as the ole saying goes….take the lemon [...]

Yes, we have snow!
I recently drove from Lutsen to Minneapolis to take my daughter back to college. Not too far out of Lutsen, I found no snow along the roadside. It was brown! Duluth had no snow, and of course the Twin Cities had no snow anywhere. Even the snow banks were virtually non-existent. While Lutsen has not received its normal share of [...]
