Bemidji is a small city in northern MN, but offers a decent amount of outdoor recreation. There are parks galore, and just as many lakes. You can catch the Northern Lights if you're lucky, but can always experience a breathtaking sunset like this one that makes a visit well worth it. #weekendgetaway
