A new section of paved trail along the North Shore is open now for non-motorized travel. It's part of a larger project to connect Two Harbors to Grand Marias with an 86 mile trail.
I was approached by a tourist looking for directions. The poor guy had driven hours to get to the North Shore Scenic Drive, and completely missed what the North Shore has to offer.
The Cramer Tunnel, about 78 miles north of Duluth is the largest railroad tunnel in Minnesota measuring about 1,800 feet and has been abandoned since 2008.
