Bay and Bay lists some favorite fall drives for Minnesota truck drivers.
September marks the final days of summer and the beginning of autumn. A favorite pastime of many Minnesota natives is taking a drive to see all the fall colors along the highways. As a truck driver, you have a prime opportunity to check out the leaves in all their beauty. Just think of it as one of the many benefits of having a truck driving job in Minnesota!
Where can you see the fall colors at their very best? Check out our list below and don’t miss a second of fall’s beauty!
North Roseau, MN to Hovland, MN
At the very northernmost tip of Minnesota, the peak season is almost over. Typically, this area sees the best colors around mid to late September. According to the DNR website, the area still has yet to hit the very best colors this year. Less than 50% of the leaves have changed for 2014.
Duluth, MN to Fargo, ND
Typically, fall colors are at their peak in this area from mid September to early October. At this time, about 10-25% of the leaves have changed.
Burnsville, MN to Sioux Falls, SD
Near the headquarters of Bay & Bay Transportation, fall colors will hit their peak late September to early October. We have yet to see many trees start to turn, but fall is definitely on it’s way!
South of Faribault, MN
The rest of the state will see the leaves at their prime in early to mid October. Residents of southeast Minnesota won’t have to wait long to see those beautiful orange, red, and yellow leaves!
Truck driving jobs in Minnesota afford drivers unique opportunities to watch the landscape of their routes change throughout the year. Spring and summer bring new and repaired roads, fall brings beautiful colors, and winter brings varying levels of snow and cold, all in one state!
Bay & Bay Transportation’s drivers travel all throughout Minnesota, the Midwest, and the East Coast. There are plenty of opportunities to see nature change this season. Post your best pictures of the fall colors to our Facebook page. We’d love to see them!
