The Lookout

This is honestly the most spiritually guided place I have ever been to in this city. Never before has a view made me think of our accomplishments as man both large, and small at the very same time.
From this hill where you can park your vehicle (be aware that you should never actually leave it there), you can look out and see the entire valley containing downtown Minneapolis, North East, and North. It is truly an experience that warrants mentioning, especially on a site like this!
There is a walking trail through here that gets a decent amount of traffic, and there are three benches lining the hill side so you can also sit and have a good look.
One of my favorite memories from here… The night my ex and I first professed our love for one another, I had parked my car at the very far right spot so as to see the entire downtown skyline lit up. We watched as a thunderstorm rolled across South Minneapolis that never quite reached the northern edge. With my moon-​roof open we could smell the rain, and hear the thunder, and the lightning show against the buildings was spectacular!!!
It is also a great place to come and watch 4^th of July fireworks!!! But get here early… as the years have gone by, more and more people seem to be discovering this place!
