A Walk Through Minnesota's #1 Winter Wonderland: Bentleyville "Tour of Lights"

11/29/2018

The Bentleyville Tour of Lights in Duluth! Kick off the Christmas Season with stunning Christmas illuminations and excitement.
Bentleyville late on opening night. I tried to resist but broke down an hour before close and made my first visit.
Whether it’s an over-the-top home display like in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation or the professional wonderland of Walt Disney World, nothing gets me in the Christmas spirit better than a good old Christmas light display!

I grew up in
a small town in southern Illinois known for Candy Cane Lane, so a trip to “see the lights” is something I just HAVE to do at least once a year. Call it an addiction if you must, but I’ve gone as far as Niagara Falls, Canada, not for that famous waterfall but to see the "Winter Festival of Lights.”  

So, when we pulled into Duluth, Minnesota
, back in late summer, I immediately began to see the requests on social media for volunteers to set up for the Bentleyville "Tour of Lights," and my excitement started to build. Not only would I have a Christmas light display in town, but it would be within walking distance!

The Bentleyville "Tour of Lights" opened on November 17th. I was there on the opening night and twice just this week. I never expected anything as elaborate and beautifully done as this! It really is magical! I'm in awe with every visit and manage to see something new.

Waterfalls Abound at Amnicon Falls State Park

Autumn at Upper Falls: Discover a touch of fall colors amid evergreens at Amnicon Falls State Park, a highlight of the Lake Superior Waterfalls tour.
One of my favorite places to see waterfalls in northwest Wisconsin is Amnicon Falls State Park. Located 15 miles east of Superior, Wisconsin, near Lake Superior, it is one of the easiest places to visit waterfalls on the Lake Superior Waterfall Tour.

This is a small park with only 2.4 miles of hiking trails. The best part of the trail, a 1/4 mile easy loop, is right off the parking lot.  This is where you will find four named waterfalls, three smaller unnamed falls, and a historic bridge. None of these waterfalls are very large, but they are all very picturesque.  The park is small enough to see the highlights in under an hour
, but if you are a true waterfall lover, bring your lunch; you could easily spend most of the day.

    I am the 8th photographer in 4 generations of my family. Back in 2006, my husband accepted a job traveling, and I jumped at the chance to go with him. 

    I blog about long scenic drives and places that I find interesting around the United States.
