Overview |
|
Out-of-towners have a few options on making your way to Two Harbors,
MN.
The first option is to fly into Duluth, rent a car, and drive about
an hour to Two Harbors.
A less expensive option is to fly into Minneapolis, rent a car,
and drive about 3.5 hours to Two Harbors.
Whichever way you decide to travel, the drive up will be spectacular,
with views of turning leaves and Lake Superior.
You won’t be alone! This is a very popular time of year to
travel to the North Shore of Lake Superior. Please make
hotel arrangements as early as possible. We have blocked
rooms in several hotels to try to give you an option of where to
stay.

The wedding ceremony and reception will
take place at The Grand Superior Lodge. The wedding party will be
staying at the lodge. We have reserved a bunch of rooms. There are
many different sorts of rooms available, including rooms in the
main lodge, log cabins, and log houses right on the lake with several
bedrooms. Some of the cabins and suites offer a sitting area with
a pull-out couch.
The wedding block of rooms expired on 8/19/2003. However, they
do have some rooms left. The Pet Cabin has already been taken, so
no pets allowed. Sorry!

This hotel doesn't win any awards for
charm. Instead of looking out at the beauties of Lake Superior,
it faces the Lakeview Cemetary. However, it's clean, fairly quiet,
and close. It's also one of the least expensive hotels in the area
and has no minimum stay.
There is one room left. Please contact the bride if you would like
it.

we could find that would rent a room for one night! We reserved
6 rooms with a lakeview on 9/20/2003 for $139. Please make your
reservations before 8/19/2003.

in the Two Harbors area. Make sure to check the distance away from
the Grand Superior Lodge -- the North Shore is really long!

There are a bunch of things to do in Duluth; shopping
the galleries at Canal Park, exploring the new Aquarium or Canal
Park Museum, watching the ore boats slip under the Ariel Bridge.
Aerial Lift Bridge
And if the wedding is too quite and sedate, you can always go watch
the planes at the Duluth
Airshow, happening the same weekend! Aren't we lucky?

Betty's Pies is a big hit in Two Harbors, as is
Gooseberry Falls Park which is very close. Did you know Two Harbors
was the birth place of 3M (you know, those yellow sticky notes)
in 1902? There's also a Tugboat you can tour, the Edna G. Also recommended,
the beautiful Lighthouse Point and Harbor Museum.
In case you doubted the bride's Duluth origins (after all, how
often have you heard a Minnesota accent come out of her?), her aunt
wanted to point out a few things. Firstly, Betty (of Betty's Pies
fame) was a good friend and schoolmate of Laurie's grandmother Doris
and her sister Shirley. Laurie has eaten many a pie at Bettie's
Pies! Secondly, Laurie's grandfather Dougal designed the original
gift shop at the Spilt Rock Lighthouse! It's been remodeled a few
times since then...

For great updates on the fall leaf display, bird
migration, and suggested driving tours to peep the leaves, try the
Minnesota
North Shore of Lake Superior Visitor Guide, or the Explore
Minnesota Guide to the North Shore. The bride's favorite guide
includes a mile-by-mile listing of things to do: the Lake
Superior Drive Guide.

The state
parks in the area are numerous and beautiful. Gooseberry Falls
is only 1.5 miles up the shore from the Grand Superior Lodge.
Hiking
There is some really beautiful hiking along Lake Superior,
especially along the Superior Hiking Trail. Many hotels have a drop-off
and pick-up service of some sort - or you could coordinate with
a few other guests and sprinkle your cars along the trail for a
great day of hiking. There is also a Superior
Shuttle.
Fishing
You're in luck! A bunch of fish are in season in September.
There are outfitters in the area - just make sure you get a fishing
license.
Boating
Most hotels offer canoes and/or kayaks that you can use
for free or for a small fee.
Gooseberry Falls
Alpine Slide, Mountain Tram, and Moutain Biking
There's all sorts of fun stuff to do at Lutsen
Mountains, at the Sawtooth Mountain Park about another 45 minutes
up the shore from Two Harbors.
