Did you know?
First-time visitors to Duluth may be surprised to find that the city's topography is somewhat ... well, it's almost mountainous. In fact, Duluth is cut into a series of steep, rocky cliffs, some reaching more than 1400 feet above sea level. Beneficiaries of this steep terrain are the city's hillside homes, which have spectacular views of the lake and which once belonged to early 20th century lumber and industrial barons.
