One of the best things about living in the middle of nowhere Minnesota is that Duluth is nearby! Congdon Park is like a hiking trail located in the city with fantastic waterfalls and views. Seriously, it’s like right across the street from a school and contains views like the one from the pic

Great fall hiking and photo location
This was a great place in Minnesota to get panoramic views of the fall colors. Only about 3.5 miles of hiking trails. But the views are worth a stop. If you love birds it is also a great place to learn about hawks. #fallcolors #duluthmn #hiking #birdlovers Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve
