sorry about pictures lol, on May 29th that day was sunny 🌞 n cloudy mixed 😅 by the time we got to 2 harbor Duluth lighthouse n it was cloudy, less visitors and it was great for taking 😀, love it and enjoy walking to lighthouse, local guy didn't catch anything while we had little chats. since it was cloudy n windy walked around lighthouse, we didn't really clearly what it was in the water in cloudy day. but we took lots fun pictures, on the way to lighthouse and we stopped at McQuade small restaurant n tiny parking lot, since not schools off yet, there were not many visitors in Duluth, it was easy parking n really fast got our late lunch orders at 2pm. the foods we got chicken salad, chicken was too dry n too salty n small portion for me, the patty burger n patty was too dry too, but i do recommend no bread deep fry chicken wings come with side French fries, both really crispy but salty for my liking 😋. service was good too. there were 4 construction on the way to 2 harbor Duluth, but it was ok for us driving since it was not peak season, but it looked like more state patrol on the way lol, when we came n we lost cellphone signal couple times and we used Google map lol, otherwise we had good time to 2 harbor Duluth. rest areas we stopped were both nice n clean, wish n hope they can put gas stations n restaurant in the rest area like other states, so we can just 1 stop to get what we want for long...

The lighthouse is rather iconic and definitely worth stopping to see, even if you decide not to visit the museum.
One of the routes of access is a gravel road, which makes it a little tricky in less-than-fair weather, and the site is not fully accessible, as the terrain is rough and on a slope.
We were glad to visit the light station; it was a nice start to our North...

The Two Harbors Keepers Quarters is also available to stay in as a B&B and we had a wonderful time. We enjoyed time away from technology (by our own choosing) playing games while cargo ships sailed by outside our windows. The rooms have beautiful views and the experience feels like a step back in time - while still enjoying the comforts of local dining and the cozy robes and slippers the B&B provides.
We stayed in winter for Christmas and will definitely be coming back to stay longer when it's...
