10 Fall Drives To Enjoy The Autumn Leaves in Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin
The Northland is one of the most gorgeous areas year-round, and it only gets better in fall.
The varied terrain, water, and multitude of types of trees make for an explosion of color people travel from around the country to enjoy. With so many places to pick from, sometimes it can be hard to decide where to go.
To make it easier, I assembled some of the best drives around the region to take in the fall colors from your car; many of them with plenty of options (or reasons) to get out and hike around. These are definitely not the only ones, but they're some great starting options.
