Go Leaf Peeping: 3 Scenic Drives to Take This Fall

Posted on September 23, 2016 by WestAIR Heating & Cooling

Cruise down any ol’ street during the autumn months, and you’ll likely find yourself oogling out the window at the gorgeous reds, yellows, oranges, greens and browns of tree-line boulevards. There’s no lack of colorful scenic drives in Minnesota this time of year, that’s for sure.

Make a day of it; grab your loved ones and pile into the car to take in some particularly spectacular sites around our great state this time of year. You won’t want to miss these:

WINONA
Located alongside the Mississippi River, Winona offers some breathtaking views.  Check out the Garvin Heights lookout while you’re there for sweeping views of the city below, or a warm cup of soup and a sandwich at the Acoustic Cafe.

STILLWATER
Admire the leaves along the St. Croix River, then grab a beer at Maple Island Brewing or peruse the many gift and antique shops in the bustling downtown area.

DULUTH
Great fall colors and great lake views; what’s not to love? Several state parks along the North Shores of Lake Superior offer hiking trails and scenic overlooks. A mid-week trip might be best to avoid the crowds.

Be sure to check the Minnesota DNR’s Fall Color Finder to find the peak time to go leaf peeping.
