A sightseeing trip to view the changing colors of autumn can be breathtaking and a welcomed break to get out of the house with your family. This year will be no different as trees and vegetation still transition as they always have. Here are some great places to view before the leaves drop and winter will be upon us. The Minnesota DNR has a Fall Leaves Color Finder where you can search different regions in Minnesota to find the best place to see the changing leaves.
