Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota have many superb stretches of color which reach their height from the last few days of September well into October, especially in their northern sections, e.g., Wisconsin's Vilas County whose Colorama celebration is Sept. 29-Oct. 8.

In Wisconsin, take route 55 north of Shawano or routes 78 and 60 from Portage to Prairie Du Chien.

In Michigan, there is fine color on route 27 up to the Mackinac Straits, while the views around Marquette and Iron Mountain in the Upper Peninsula are spectacular.

In Minnesota, Arrowhead County and route 53 north to International Falls are outstanding.

Farther south, there are attractive patches all the way to the Ozarks, with some seasonal peaks as late as early November.

Illinois' Shawnee National Forest, Missouri's Iron County and the maples of Hiawatha, Kan. should be at their best in mid-October.
