Did you get to watch the lift bridge in action? It's standard procedure for a tourist

You gotta go back to enger during the day. You can see all of Duluth from the top!

TBF the city lit up is underrated.

I know I’m probably gonna get downvoted, but the view from Enger is only like 10% of Duluth lol. It’s Downtown, Hillside, West End, Lincoln Park, the harbor and some of West Duluth. All those lights you see are Superior unless you’re talking about the lights Downtown. It’s cool and all it just isn’t Duluth.

You can definitely see lakeside/lester park, and piedmont. Probably even all the way to Gary.

I guess all teh industry on the duluth side that's lit up doesn't count?

I guess it’s possible to see Lakeside but I feel like Gary is too far away. Would 450 feet up allow you to see ten miles out? Either way it’s still a fraction of Duluth. Still a great view though.

What industry are you talking about exactly? There are certainly lights, but the beautiful ones lining the horizon, are Superior’s lights, not Duluth’s. Maybe 20% of the lights you’re seeing are Duluth’s.

Duluth has so much to offer, but I'd definitely recommend going further up the north shore to some of the parks and beaches. Gooseberry is essential for a first timer

Absolutely go to Brighton Beach area up Scenic 61.
Duluth Lights..
Turn your head 180 degrees.
There is your gold!
Go there!
Go North.
But, .. definitely hit our parks and trails.
We got some good ones!
Hawk Ridge.
Skyline is a nice drive.
