Leaves are really changing here in Minnesota, from the shores of Superior across the Range and down through river country. Crisp mornings are now the norm as well. Hot coffee and sweaters, perhaps a wool coat, are more of a necessity now rather than a suggestion. Some of our comrades from around the country may dread this time of year as it rings in the end of the warm months, but we Minnesotans embrace it!
As we alluded to, travel around the state to see some of those colors. Duluth will be buzzing with activity as many folks have the same idea, but travelling south toward Lanesboro you may have an easier time finding seclusion (and a place to stay) to enjoy autumn colors. This is also the prime time of the year to visit your local orchard or pumpkin patch. The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chanhassen is brimming with fall activities, including apple tastings in the visitor center and a pumpkin “labyrinth.”
Get out there and enjoy fall in the Land of Lakes!
