North Shore Drive

We've been talking about taking the drive along the north shore of Lake Superior all summer, but just finally got around to doing it.

After leaving Duluth the real drive begins by going through one of two tunnels that cut through the bluffs along the lake.







Along the way is one after another of Minnesota's State Parks: Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock Lighthouse, Baptism River, Tettegouche, Temperance River, and each one is full of wonderful falls along the rivers that fall into Lake Superior.














We made a few stops along the way to check out the sights, but more importantly to find coffee and pies! There is nothing better than a picnic with cheese and crackers, a good bottle of wine, a coconut cream pie, picturesque Lake Superior, and great friends to share it with!









It was a beautiful drive with the water on one side and the trees on the other. Fall in Minnesota is just beginning, but it promises to be a colorful one.
