Take the Scenic Scenic Route to Grand Marais

 

May 25, 2010

There are only so many days of summer,
but that doesn’t mean you have to rush
through them.

Slow down this year and enjoy your whole vacation, not just your Grand Marais destination. The old punchline is “winter and road construction,” but as you plan your summer getaway, we’re working on all sorts of ways to make your trip to Grand Marais even more enjoyable.

Check back in a couple of weeks for a fun, new way to get to
Grand Marais. Your future trip will include:

  • Our favorite alternate route called the Scenic SCENIC route.
    (Yep, that’s right. Double the scenic.)
  • Unique stops and spectacular sightseeing along the way.
  • Travel games to keep the kids—and you—occupied.
  • Video tours of the Scenic Scenic Route with your host, Jason Portman.

This year, if you really want to avoid the traffic, take off a day early, plan a four-day weekend or a mid-week trip. And remember, the Scenic Scenic Route is the best way to Grand Marais.

Do north.
