Selective Focus: Fall Colors 2024

For a few weeks starting mid September, the fall leaves in Duluth are at their most vibrant. Maples turn around Labor Day and birch and poplar closer to Lake Superior begin to turn in early October. Hike the North Shore or head to the top of the hill for a marvelous show of red, burgundy, orange, yellow and gold.

Featured here is Perfect Duluth Day’s annual collection of select images from Instagram showcasing nature’s palette.
