Some think that summer is the best time for a road trip. After all, it’s vacation time. Autumn is also a great time for a long weekend getaway. The weather isn’t as hot. The roads aren’t clogged with traffic. And the colors…ahh, the colors. The trees shed their summer mask of green chlorophyll and show off their natural colors in cascades of oranges, yellow, and reds. A drive as close as The Great River Road, just over the river via Alton to Grafton, is stunning. Or as far north as Chicago, and all points in between can be magical. Fall is an excellent time for a road trip.
