Where do we go this fall

Fall is in and the leaves are turning yellow and copper and red and gold.
One fine day they would all be gone and we want to be there before they vanish. We have booked a car for two weekends now and wondering when would be the best time to go. And of course, the eternal question still in our minds is" where?" We have two options: either go the northern side towards Canada or down south in Wisconsin and the first one seems better.

This is what Minnesota DNR has to say about the peak season:



Ofcourse, this is for the trees and the trend is different for grasses and wild flowers.
We would be just in time if we have to go to GZrand portage or International falls but still have some more time to go, if it is Duluth.

As of now, we plan to take a trip on the North Shore drive off Lake Superior. Let's see how things work out.
