π Take a Fall Color Drive!
A sightseeing trip to enjoy the beautiful changing colors of autumn can be breathtaking—and it’s a wonderful excuse to get out of the house and spend some time together as a family!
This year will be no different, as Minnesota’s trees and vegetation put on their annual spectacular display of reds, oranges, yellows, and golds. Before the leaves drop and winter arrives, take some time to explore and enjoy the beauty of the season.
The Minnesota DNR Fall Color Finder is a great resource when planning your adventure. You can search different regions throughout Minnesota to see where the fall colors are at their peak and find the perfect destination for your family outing.
