Quick Details
Duluth is defined by two things, its trails and its water.
The Trails & Tides Escape brings both together into one seamless weekend. You’ll spend time moving through forested trails or slowing down in nature, then shift your perspective out onto Lake Superior aboard a Vista Fleet cruise.
It’s a natural rhythm; land and lake, movement and stillness, all in one trip.

About Experience
Most getaways lean one direction. This one gives you both.
Instead of choosing between activity or relaxation, this experience blends them together. You’ll engage your body or mind through a guided outdoor experience, then step out onto the water to take in Duluth from a completely different vantage point.
This is for people who want:
• A balanced mix of activity and relaxation
• A deeper connection to Duluth’s landscape
• A weekend that feels intentional but not over-structured
• To experience both the trails and Lake Superior
What’s Included
Everything is designed to give you a complete Duluth experience:
• 2-night stay at Zenith Basecamp in Duluth’s Lincoln Park Craft District
• Choice of one guided trail experience:
– Guided Trail Run (2–3 hours, pace-flexible)
– Guided Forest Bathing (slow, immersive nature experience)
• Vista Fleet cruise of your choice on Lake Superior (per guest)
• Coffee & tea during your stay
• Late check-out for a relaxed departure
