The State of Illinois is making it easy for residents to enjoy fall colors.
Their website contains an interactive trip planner that shows the best times to discover photo-worthy fall scenery. Our state contains a wide variety of deciduous trees like maple, dogwood, sumac, cottonwood and buckeye that turn bright shades of red and yellow.
There is also information about events and festivals within easy driving distance. In our area, the peak time for fall colors is the third and fourth weeks of October.
