Jaw-Dropping Minnesota Destination Has The 'Best View' In The State

In Minnesota, there’s a mountain resort where nature puts on its most dazzling display, locals hold it close to their hearts, and visitors carry the memory forever. It's the perfect meeting of scenic and soul-stirring, and easily one of the most stunning places to witness the northern lights in the state.

From its sweeping panoramas to the sense of quiet awe it inspires, this destination offers a moment of connection to something larger than yourself. Photographs hardly do it justice. The only way to really appreciate this location is to stand there, breathe it in, and feel the magnitude of the colorful lights for yourself. In a state full of beauty, this must-see gem rises above the rest as the most breathtaking view around.

According to a list compiled by LoveExploring, Lutsen Mountain Ski Resort offers the absolute best view in the state.

Here's what LoveExploring had to say about the spot with the best view in Minnesota:

"After Alaska, Minnesota is the northernmost state in the contiguous US. Add to this its many dark sky areas, and you’re in for an aurora borealis bonanza. The mountain ski resort of Lutsen is a great spot to catch it with your camera, so too is Split Rock lighthouse, or one of Minnesota’s almost 12,000 lakes (such as Little Sand Lake, pictured) for a reflective double whammy."
