If you want to see North Shore MN fall colors, you are in luck, we have two seasons. And the colors are magnificent. First the maples turn, showy and bright, peaking around September 23 through October 10. As the maple leaves begin to fall, the shoreline birch and aspen go golden making the Highway 61 corridor fantastic. The second season runs from late September through the 3rd week of October. Or so. Sometimes we get a Halloween snowstorm. Once in a [great] while, it is balmy through Thanksgiving.
