If you shy away from freezing temperatures, summer is the time to visit Minnesota. Pack up the fishing gear and drive up the western shore of Lake Superior to get some mind-clearing lakeside views. Make sure to refuel at the seventies-inspired diner, New Scenic Café, eight miles outside of Duluth, before heading out on the maze of hiking trails near the shore.
