Picture Perfect
A guide to the best spots for your family photo
The holiday season is coming up fast—it’s time to start thinking about the perfect family photo for your Christmas card! Whether you're dreaming of an elaborate shot with a dramatic backdrop or a down-home pic of you and the gang having a good time, you’ll find the perfect scenery at and around Odyssey Resorts.
By the Lake

Lake Superior is the obvious choice for a classic North Shore family picture with scenic options like beaches, cliffs, sunrise or sunset, choppy waves … you’re catching our drift. Choose from bright green foliage in early fall to golden hues later in the season, and build the perfect scenery to shine the right light on your family.

Opt for a sunset shoot to capture the golden light that complements the fall foliage
In the Mountains

The dramatic ridges of the Sawtooth Mountains provide a stunning backdrop that adds a sense of grandeur to any photo. In the fall, the mountains are blanketed in vibrant autumn colors, making this one of the top spots for a family picture you’ll want to share with family and friends.

Don’t forget to check out the Odyssey Leaf Peeping Map to find the peak foliage spots during your stay. This handy guide highlights the best trails and viewpoints for those rich autumn hues.
By the Fire

For a more intimate, cozy feel, gather the family around one of our outdoor fire pits. The warm glow of the fire makes a heartwarming family portrait. Or gather round in front of a fireplace for a candid shot in your red-plaid pj’s with mugs of hot cocoa in your hands. Marshmallows aren’t optional!

On the Trails

If you’re an outdoorsy family, lace up your boots and head out to one of the many North Shore hiking trails. In the fall, the trails come alive with color, making every turn a picture-perfect moment. From wide-open spaces with mountain views to winding paths through dense, leafy forests, you’ll find the perfect setting for a family photo.

In Your Special Place

Most of our guest have their own special locations on the North Shore that are near and dear to their heart and their family. So why not make this year’s family picture truly personal and take it at your favorite pie shop, lighthouse, logging camp, or state park?

Share why the place you chose for the picture is important to you and your family in your Christmas card.
