Skyline is one of many of Duluth's hidden gems. It stretches from one side of the city to the other. If you have a few hours, I would recomend driving it. The Best vies in town.

This is another absolute must-do/see when you're in Duluth. The views looking down on the city for miles and miles of this scenic drive are amazing. They probably couldn't build a road like this today. Stop at the little pull-outs for a closer look over the edge of the old glacial lake shoreline back in the ice age. Stop at... More

Be prepared for breath-taking views of Lake Superior and enjoy the turn-of-the-centruy architecture of many fine homes. A must-see when in the Twin Cities.

If you want to see the best views of Duluth, this is the way to do it. It will take you an hour or so to drive it, but you will see some of the best lake vistas there are.

nice view, but wish I could have walked it or biked instead to see things better. Stop at Enger Park/Tower, that's worth the drive.

If you have visited Duluth and not taken the Skyline Parkway, you are missing a really nice drive. The parkway runs along the entire city perimeter at the top of the hill. Even after the rough weather in June, the Parkway is outstanding.

This drive is absolutely wonderful on a clear day. Be sure to bring your binoculars to take in the views. If you're a photographer, bring a telephoto lens with a polarizing filter for the best pictures. Most important, enjoy the day!

A very peaceful drive. We found following it, and orienteering our way through it was trickier than what the guide book had suggested...we didn't see the waterfalls...but, how can you really go wrong overlooking such a spectacular city...both in day and night...fantastic!

This was a beautiful drive with stunning views of the lake and city. Parts of the drive go through the busier streets, so check the route before your start out.

We loved this road, BUT there is so much road construction! We had to turn around twice, and was detoured once. I know it is because of the flooding, but really - could you have a sign or two up about it before we come to a dead end and have to turn around in the middle of the road?
