Duluth: Fall 2026

"The Zenith City of the Unsalted Seas." ~Thomas Preston Foster

The weather unspooled much better than expected, and we wrapped up another scenic outdoor adventure in Duluth, Minnesota. So long to the Northshore until next summer. Soon, it will be too cold for anyone except hardy Minnesotans. I’m a Florida girl at heart. I think my photos accurately depict the fun we had this fall.

Good food, great trails, and grand views.

Follow my feet…

Congdon Park Trail

Funny feet for Mosaic Monday.

We didn’t get a Lake Superior view at the hotel this time, but it was still scenic.

I love the pretty blue waves enveloping the dog. It looks like a canine painting.

Migrating monarch madness.

My husband finished his 27th inline marathon! It took him an hour and thirty minutes to skate over twenty-six miles.

Cheers at Enger Tower!
