This past weekend was a wonderful opportunity for our guests to explore the beach and visit Canal Park on foot because of warm temperatures. There was a lot of shipping traffic to watch coming and going from the harbor and also from the lake. Our guests visited Glensheen and the Great Lakes Aquarium. Sunday was a glorious sunny morning and we were able to have our first breakfast outside on the back deck overlooking Lake Superior.

One thing that is always for certain when staying at Solglimt, the views are all stunning no matter what the weather brings: sun, clouds, rain, rainbows, calm, breezy or stormy.

Come watch the CANADIAN FORCES SNOWBIRDS
May 14th at 5:30 pm as they fly over Solglimt!

For the first time in more than 15 years the Canadian Forces Snowbirds will decend on the Twin Ports of Duluth, MN and Superior, WI. This event dubbed as “Air Spectacular” will feature a 35 minute performance by the world renown Candian Forces Snowbirds and will signal the start of a very busy Aviation Summer in Duluth!

Bad weather… is good weather watching at Solglimt! Our guests that have braved the elements and have come to stay with us are enjoying the spring fling that Mother Nature is giving us.

After getting about four inches of new snow last Wednesday to “freshen” up the snow banks, today the sun is bright and melting it away quickly. The ice breaker Alder was out breaking up the ice in the Harbor and around the North and South Piers today getting ready for the first shipping traffic to leave the port. This time of year at Solglimt is always fun to watch the ice floes come & go, come & go and then go for good and hear the waves lapping on the sand beach again until next winter.
