Hi! We planning trip for the end of September. There's enough information on all the places to b visit, but haven't found anything about the weather. We will be driving from Missouri do it's still pretty warm in September, early October. What about North Shore drive, Duluth area weather wise for end of September/early October. Will we need hats? Rains a lot?! Thank you
A:
Simple Google search should help. Try weatherspark. Short answer is OCT starts at 60 and ends at 45 for the monthly average. Not much rain. Enjoy!
Where is the North Shore scenic drive? We cannot find it!!
A:
As you go out of town traveling North of Duluth. As stated above, it hwy. 61, be aware parts of the hwy is closed and they will detour you to the freeway.
