The Northwoods are perfect place to enjoy the autumn colors. With the trees creating tunnels of red, yellow, and orange leaves, you kind of feel like you're in a fairy tale. And there's the added benefit of little to no crowds.
“The Northwoods lie between the true boreal forest to the north and the temperate broadleaf forests to the south and contain species from each, such as Balsam Fir and Sugar Maple, living in a landscape that was recently glaciated. It is the land of maple syrup and Christmas trees.”
—John Pastor, Professor Emeritus at the University of Minnesota-Duluth
Even though we used to live here, I never forget how the Northwoods is definitely an underrated escape to nature. The dense trees remind you of how much Mother Nature has to offer, making even just driving down the highway scenic and reflective. You can see the age of the forest all around you. It's easily been one of my favorite places to take walks or just go for a drive. Just be sure to stay alert as you'll be sure to see a deer or two every time you go out.
Tobias definitely approves the country life!
