Discover 9 Little-Known Fall Drives


From Midwest Living Magazine
Northern Wisconsin:
Travel Highway13 for Lake Superior views and brilliant fall foliage. Start in Washburn, where the route runs past Coco Artisan Breads and Fine Pastries (try the Washburn bread -- pumpernickel with cranberries and walnuts). Continue to Bayfield (left), where apple orchards along the ridge above town offer dozens of you-pick varieties, and on to the public beach in Cornucopia. The road winds over the Bois Brule River and swings into Superior; return to Washburn on US-2 for a 170-mile round-trip.

Another short trip close at hand: Minnesota River Valley Scenic Byway which starts near Belle Plaine then heads south and west to Mankato. Look for Apple orchards and Morgan Creek Vineyards.
