North Shore Scenic Drove

Penmarallter Campground Two Harbors, Minnesota Day 2

We spent the day on North Shore Scenic Drive, Route 61, from Two Harbors to just shy of the Canadian Border. The road was built in 1924 just as more Americans could afford to buy cars. It was constructed to “provide outstanding views of Lake Superior.” We drove through small towns, into safe harbors, past waterfalls, over rivers, streams, and creeks. We got out at several places but we quickly discovered that the state parks were very crowded…it didn’t matter there were plenty of places to get out and enjoy the lake!

We grilled avocados and chicken and had it with Texas caviar and fresh ripe melon. Later in the evening we went for a ride to Knife River.
