I am thinking about stay at a nice resort with lake view, the hotel fee will
be expensive. Just chekced some, the price is normally $260 per room per night.
I have never been to northshore before. Those are my current thoughts.
I am open for any suggestions. Schedules are flexible.
If you are interested, please email me at s********[email protected] by Saturay

Best fall color season in years possible, DNR says

For many Minnesotans, fall is an enchanted time — not least because of the
brilliant leaf colors that are a hallmark of autumn.
Not only are North Shore forests splashed in bright reds, oranges and
yellows. Many of these same fiery hues can be seen throughout the state.
This autumn, the Department of Natural Resources says, those hues may shine
brighter than they have in many years.
“With adequate rain during the growing season for two consecutive years and
recent weather patterns that have included the ideal combination of warm,
sunny days and cool evenings, we’re predicting an especially vivid display
of color across the state in the weeks ahead,” said Jana Albers, DNR forest
health specialist.
Grouse hunters who parade across northern Minnesota in October are
accustomed to planning their visits well in advance. Otherwise, motel,
resort and hotel rooms can be difficult to find as peak colors across the
region approach.
According to the DNR, colors typically peak between mid-September and early
October in the northern third of the state, between late September and early
October in the central third, and between late September and mid-October in
the southern third, including the metro.
The DNR website (www.mndnr.gov) has fall color reports, and the agency
developed a mobile website last year that provides leaf-color information to
some smartphones.
The same website has information about special fall state park programs and
other events, such as Leaf Days at Maplewood State Park in Pelican Rapids,
Sept. 24-25 and Oct. 1-2.
