This Is The Most Beautiful Place In Minnesota

Summer is synonymous with vacation and whether or not you have a family holiday planned already, the good news is you don’t have to travel outside of Minnesota for a much-needed getaway.

Minnesota is full of beautiful vacation destinations but there is one location that stands out.

This month, Conde Nast Traveler says it did some digging and named the most beautiful place in every U.S. state.

“No state is the same, and each has its stars, the kind of sights that make you catch your breath and nearly veer off the highway,” Conde Nast writes. The magazine writes that the list “only scrapes the surface” of what the U.S. has to offer, so consider it as a starting point.

Conde Nast named northern Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness the most beautiful place in the state.

The BWCAW is a unique area located in the Superior National Forest.

The glaciers left behind rugged cliffs and crags, canyons, gentle hills, towering rock formations, rocky shores, sandy beaches and several thousand lakes and streams, interspersed with islands and surrounded by forest.

BWCAW facts

• More than 1 million acres in size
• Nearly 150 miles along the international boundary
• Over 1200 miles of canoe routes
• 12 hiking trails
• More than 2000 designated campsites
