​FIND YOUR TRUE COLORS THIS FALL

October 1, 2018

Once air turns crisp and the mornings reveal that special glow signaling the impending change of the season, time is perfect to head up the North Shore to Lutsen, Minnesota.

CASCADE - YOUR PERFECT LUTSEN LODGE TO EXPLORE FALL COLORS

Just as soon as Labor Day Weekend ends, we excitedly start scanning the horizon over the lush forest canopy blanketing the Sawtooth Mountains, waiting for the colors to start showing. First, the delicate birch and sugar maple leaves start giving into the yellow and light orange tones. As the cool air rolls off of Lake Superior into the ancient mountains, the subtle tones intensify with deeper jewel tones of garnet red, golden amber, and deep agate orange and browns. It is impossible to resist immersing yourself into this colorful world and heading out for a memorable hike, no matter the length or intensity of the trail. Hosting guests since 1927, our landmark property is a premier Lake Superior lodge in Lutsen, Minnesota.

To find your perfect place to stay while on this incredibly colorful adventure, explore our cabins. They offer a perfect setting for your fall stay on the North Shore.
