It’s October in a blink of an eye. On a beautiful autumn day, there is nothing more pleasant than walking among the mountains and forests and admiring the colorfulness of nature.

Today, I will introduce two routes for enjoying autumn from Chicago for your reference.While the weather is still bright, come and see where is the most beautiful autumn in your heart!

From Chicago, you can either travel north along the west bank of Lake Michigan via Wisonsin to North Michigan, or you can travel along the east bank of Lake Michigan via the Mackinaw Bridge to North Michigan.

Of course, friends with plenty of time can also travel around the Great Lakes.Next, I will recommend some attractions worth visiting according to the distance, from near to far.

Holy Hill is located in the small town of Erin, a 40-minute drive northwest of Milwaukee.There is a trail (Ice Age Trail) that leads to the Roman Catholic Church on the top of the mountain.If it is a Sunday, you can also go to church by the way and visit the inside of the church.

When you come to the observation deck, you can see the beautiful natural scenery and the towering and solemn church. The two complement each other and complement each other.This is probably one of the best autumn viewing spots closest to Chicago.

Wild Boar Mountain State Park is located on the northwest corner of the Upper Peninsula, with Lake Superior to the north.Affected by the Great Lakes, there will be snow in the mountains in October. You must also take measures to keep warm when climbing. Preparing down jackets will come in handy.

The most famous attraction in Wild Boar Mountain is Cloud Lake.Standing on the observation deck, look down at the size of the universe.Looking around, there is no obstruction to the vast field of vision. I only feel that the blue sky, white clouds and colorful trees are reflected on the calm lake, which is a bit like the legendary Wucai Pond.

Copper Harbor is located at the northernmost point of the Upper Peninsula.This was originally the hometown of North American indigenous people, but now it is an area not under municipal administration.Due to its natural location and natural environment, it is a very popular all-season tourist town.There are many natural parks and hiking trails nearby.Located in a very high dimension, you can see the aurora if you are lucky.

Holland is located on the west bank of Lake Michigan, a lakeside town with a Dutch style.Every May, the Tulip Festival is held here to show its Dutch tradition.If you choose the Eastern Route, this is a small town worth stopping in. 

In the eyes of Honshu people, Travers City means cherries, wineries and skiing.The clear lake, the pebbles by the lake, the rowing boats on the lake, intoxicated and not knowing the way back, this is probably my impression of Travers City.It is also a very popular tourist town.If you go at this time, you must drive the lake side drive along the M-22 highway to experience the poetry of half autumn and half blue.

A bridge, with Lake Michigan to the west and Lake Huron to the east, connects Michigan's Lower State and Upper Peninsula.There are speeding cars on the bridge and a romantic beach under the bridge. Many people come here to take pictures.There are also some natural islands on both sides of the bridge, one of which is Mackinaw Island.If you are interested, you can also spend an afternoon on the island and watch the holiday mansions of the rich on the island.

This is a small island in the legend that there are no motor vehicles, only horse-drawn carts as a means of transportation, and the island can only be reached by ferry.If you come to Mackinaw, you must try the local candies, such as Fudge, peanut brittle and gummy bear.

The cola-colored waterfall is here. Tahquamenon Falls State Park is located in the northeast of the Upper Peninsula, adjacent to Lake Superior.It can be said that the four seasons are different, and the joy is endless.

In summer, the jungle here is lush and leafy, covering the sky from the sun, carefully walking to the back of the waterfall, as if in the water curtain cave.Thousands of miles of ice here in winter, wrapped in silver, time seems to have been frozen to freezing here.Autumn is sure to have a special flavor.

The waterfalls here are divided into Upper Water Fall and Lower Water Fall, which are connected by hiking trails and can also be transferred by car. Upper Water Fall is even more spectacular, with a height difference of 14 meters. Lower Water Fall consists of a series of smaller waterfalls, suitable for playing in the water in summer
