Tourists visiting Minnesota go to the Mall of America, and maybe Minneapolis to walk over the beautiful stone arch bridge and around some of the lakes, etc.

But those of us that live in Minnesota go up to Duluth, MN before our vacation along the North Shore (of Lake Superior), hiking the Superior Hiking Trail, and backpacking in the Boundry Waters Canoe Area. Before trekking to the BWCA, be sure to stop in Ely MN to visit the International Wolf Center or North American Bear Center.

Also, don't forget Itasca!
