Four Seasons of the Year
Enjoy Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter in Minnesota
Visit Minnesota in all four seasons of the year.
Life is never dull when even the trees change their garb from season to season.
The changing seasons of the year in Minnesota offer a variety of vacation fun found in few other places.
All seasons of the year, and every time of the season, is a great time for a Minnesota vacation.

Long before spring season arrives "officially" on the calendar, we rejoice in signs that it is on the way. Pussy willows appear in the woods; the first wild flowers pop up. The first robin shows up in the yard wondering if there is a "thawed out" worm under the lawn. When the ice begins to recede from the Minnesota’s lakes and rivers, and the last of the snow melts into puddles, we recover from our cabin fever and catch spring fever.

Spring is often so warm and pleasant in Minnesota that one season seems to flow right into the next. Summer season arrives softly and the long summer days are made even longer by the switch to daylight savings time. We load up the kids and the boats and head to the cabin, reserve a tenting spot at our favorite campgrounds and make a list of all the summer festivals we just don't want to miss.

When the fall leaves turn golden and red, Minnesota becomes an autumn paradise. We watch the fall color reports and trek to the
North Shore of Lake Superior for the first look at blazing beauty. The color moves gradually south through the state until the Twin Cities are lit with the color and carpeted with colorful falling leaves. By mid-October the only fall season color is along the rivers and in the blufflands of southern Minnesota. Most of us take one last drive to see the color and to visit the apple orchards and pumpkin patches.

The winter season in Minnesota does not chase us into the house. We love our blazing fireplaces, hot chocolate, and good books but those are temporary pleasures. When the snow falls we get out and play. Our lakes freeze over so we drill holes in them and fish through the ice. Our trails become snow covered so we put away the hiking boots and dig out the cross-country skis and snowshoes. Our winter carnivals and winter festivals are world famous.
We love to joke about the weather and the seasons in Minnesota. One of the jokes is that:
Spring begins around Memorial Day.
Summer is the first couple weeks in July.
Fall is Labor Day weekend.
Winter is all the rest.
Don't believe it however...there are few places in the world where you can enjoy the changing seasons the way you can in Minnesota.
Visit Minnesota in all seasons of the year!
