Now is the time to plan your driving tour of colorful fall foliage. It's a getaway that should be a great family excursion, even with covid restrictions in place.
Here are a few favorites:
1. Arkansas's Route Seven in the Ozarks. The white and red oaks turn multicolored, and the black gum gets very red.
2. Ste.-Agathe-des-Monts in Quebec's Laurentians. Red and sugar maples contrast with firs and spruces for dramatic effect.
3. The Maroon Bells near Aspen, the place to see Colorado's prime foliage tree, the aspen.
4. Belmont County, Ohio, Rubberneck Tour, features the colorful hilly landscapes and historic places. The self-driving tour usually takes place the second week in October. See visitbelmontcounty.com.
5. Wisconsin's Marinette County's Waterfall Tour includes a look at 14 falls and cataracts throughout this 125-mile loop tour. See travelwisconsin.com.
6. Adirondack Champlain Valley – Includes the entire shoreline of Lake Champlain as well as the eastern portion of Lake George. Main roads include NY 22 and NY 9N.
