To Fall Fun and Color

Fall is finally here, and if you’re ready to see some beautiful foliage, we have a perfect roadtrip for you. Optimal viewing for fall color in Texas takes place between mid-October and mid-November. Our route takes roughly 7 hours, depending on your starting point, and comes in just under 400 miles. We’ve included some unique roadside attractions. Remember, getting there is half the fun! When packing, leave room in the trunk for pumpkins, antiques and other goodies you find along the way.
HALLSPUMPKINFARM.NET Hall’s Pumpkin Farm has fun for the whole family.
1. Hall’s Pumpkin Farm
3420 HALL-JOHNSON ROAD • GRAPEVINE
The Hall Farm dates back as far as 1929 when Jess Hall started planting with a double-shovel plow and mule. It’s more than a great place to pick pumpkins for your front porch. You can “get lost” in the mind-boggling corn maze. For those who would like a greater challenge, bring a flashlight and give it a try after dark. They say it takes most folks 15-20 minutes to get through the maze. Hay rides start at various times and cost extra. Daylight rides are $5. After dark rides are $3.
