Explore Duluth Outdoors offers the details you need to easily find 20 of the city's top outdoor locations and a wide variety of activities, including trails through a railroad tunnel, near waterfalls, along Lake Superior, and more. Along with hiking and biking, you'll find thrilling sites for pursuits that require a bit more adrenaline, such as climbing, skiing, and swimming. Evenly split between walks in the city and hikes in Duluth's wild backyard, Explore Duluth Outdoors has something for everyone. The full-color guide's pocket-sized format is great for a backpack or back pocket, and every site description includes directions, contact information, and other important details.

He also presents Wilderness First Aid, Leave No Trace, and lightweight backpacking training to people preparing for their adventures.
