It’s almost that time, Minnesota! 🍂🍁

The canopy is just starting to shift, which means now is the moment to start mapping out your autumn adventures.

Peak fall foliage moves across our state like a wave—starting up north in late September and rolling down through the Twin Cities and river valleys into mid-to-late October. Because peak colors only stick around for a short window in each spot, planning ahead is everything!

✨ How the season unfolds across MN:

📍 Late Sept – Early Oct: North Shore & Northern Forests (Hit the trails before these peak first!)

📍 Early Oct – Mid-Oct: Twin Cities Metro & Central Lakes (Get ready for golden parkway drives & neighborhood walks)

📍 Mid-Oct – Late Oct: Southern River Bluffs & Prairies (Perfect for late-season scenic road trips)

Save this post, block out your weekend calendars, and get your cozy layers ready—the best views of the year are right around the corner! ☕✨

Where are you planning your first leaf-peeping road trip? Tell us below! 👇
