Natural History Wanderings

Superior National Forest has a new fall color report

Fall color is a bit past peak, but aspen and birch are brilliant yellow and tamaracks are golden.  There are even a few spots with maples still.  Please drive respectfully on the narrow Forest roads!

For downloadable maps of the fall color tours, choose from the options below:

• Laurentian Fall Color Tour (Laurentian District)
• Sawtooth Mountains Fall Color Tour (Tofte District)
• Discovery Auto Tour (LaCroix District)

Our nationally designated Scenic Byways and Scenic Drives are also good locations for fall colors:

• Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway
• Superior National Forest Scenic Byway
• North Shore Scenic Drive
