A tunnel of fall color on a Wisconsin rustic road

No matter how many times we’ve seen it before, the change of seasons from summer to fall is one of nature’s greatest shows in Wisconsin.

Highlights of rust and orange wash over the deep green of treetops across the state. Vibrant gold canopies line rustic roads and join overhead in a tunnel of color. The white steeples of country churches and stout red barns dot tall bluffs ablaze with color, overlooking brilliant valleys. Wisconsin’s many lakes mirror a hazy reflection of jewel-toned sky, birch, and maple alongside a stand of waving cattails. Then there’s the forest floor, where bright red sumac parades across golden yellow prairies, ferns and grasses take refuge under auburn oaks, and leaves crunch beneath your feet.
