WHERE ARE YOU GOING THIS FALL?

We all love the prospect of summer when the leaves start to bud each spring, but a er a few months of sweltering temperatures and soaring humidity, you can’t blame us for daydreaming about the upcoming sweater weather.

Give me a pumpkin beer and changing leaves, throw some fresh apples in there, too, while you’re at it. How about a cup of co ee on the patio on a cool October morning? Who is up for the roar of a football stadium on a Saturday or Sunday a ernoon? Same goes for me.

Autumn is incredible throughout the Great Lakes and Ohio River Valley, and this part of the year is the perfect time to plan some getaways that stretch beyond the weekend. is issue includes a collection of travel ideas that we hope will inspire you to carve out some time to hit the road this season.

Head to northeast Michigan to explore historic lighthouses that stand tall against the backdrop of Lake Huron or plan a trip to the birthplace of Bu alo wings to try a variety of traditional and creative takes. at is just the start of the ideas found in this issue of LongWeekends. We hope it helps you nd adventure and fun out there among the changing leaves.
