Featured Experiences
Zenith Basecamp is built for people who feel most at home when they’re exploring. Our Featured Experiences are a curated selection of Duluth and North Shore adventures that pair easily with your stay. Whether you’re here for a quiet winter reset or a full summer escape.
Book select experiences alongside your reservation or add them before you arrive, and let our team help coordinate the details. In winter, get outside with cross-country ski or snowshoe rentals and explore snow-covered trails at your own pace. As the seasons change, choose from paddleboard and hammock rentals, guided climbing at Ely’s Peak, forest bathing sessions, harbor cruises with Vista Fleet, and bike rentals through Zenith Adventure and Ski Hut Adventure Center.
Not sure yet? Many experiences can be added closer to arrival once weather and timing are clearer. You can do as much—or as little—as you like. We’ll help make it easy.
Cross country ski rentals
Make your winter stay in Duluth even easier with Nordic ski or fat tire bike rentals from Ski Hut Adventure Center. Whether you’re gliding along groomed trails or exploring snow-packed paths, their quality gear and local expertise help you get outside with confidence. Reserve your rental when booking your room at Zenith Basecamp, and we’ll take care of the details so you can focus on the adventure.
snowshoe rentals
We've partnered with Traverse Duluth to offer on-site snowshoe rentals! Perfect for all ages and experience levels, snowshoeing offers a peaceful way to explore the region’s forests and overlooks at your own pace.
