The North Shore of Lake Superior is a beautiful place full of memories for a lot of Minnesotans. It all starts with the harbor at Duluth, then north to Two Harbors to visit the Agate Shop, here you pick up Hwy 61 fro
m here and hit Tofte and Lutsen with their trails into the interior of the BWCA. Grand Marais comes next and is a tourist mecca. The furthest point north is Grand Portage, which has an historic national monument managed by the Department of the Interior. It is also an Ojibwe community which is distinct in that the language is still very much alive. To me Grand Portage i
s one of the best vacation spots if you just want to sit next to a fire and listen to the waves.
