The upper Midwest shows off its best features throughout October and November each year. There’s no better time for a fall drive to take in the season in all its glory. In this issue, we feature three of the most colorful road trips in the area a point out the not-to-be-missed sights along the way.
Football season is serious business in this region, no more so than in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This town offers even more with natural wonders, historic neighborhoods, and great food and cocktails.
Colorful Fall Drives

Each October I wish I could sit and watch the leaves change. Autumn is a season that can never be long enough. To savor each fleeting moment, check the peak color schedule and plan a fall road trip.
