Fall Foliage

Autumn is here, and one of the things I love most about this time of year is the stunning colors trees turn before their leaves fall off for the winter season.   And so far, I've seen some really gorgeous fall foliage around the Tri-state. If you're wanting to take some time to really soak in the changing leaves, this fall foliage road trip is one you'll definitely want to take!

A Scenic Roadtrip Across Southern Indiana

I was recently looking online and trying to find some new places in Indiana to visit, and I came across this article that had the top 10 scenic drives in Indiana, but one drive stood out to me because it sounds perfect for sightseeing fall foliage.

Your Mechanic named Indiana’s Historic Pathways South Spur one of the most scenic drives in the state, and the best part?  It isn't too far from the Tri-State.  This specific drive starts in Vincennes winds you through Hoosier National Forest, and will take you to the other side of Louisville.  The entire trip will take you about two and a half hours and across more than 150 miles of gorgeous fall views.

Here is what Your Mechanic has to say about this particular road trip:

Cutting through the Hoosier National Forest and past numerous sites of historic interest, the South Spur of this scenic drive is a nice way to spend a day and explore the region. Hike some of the many forest trails, and consider checking out Potts Creek Rockshelter Archeological Site, where Archaic, Woodland, and Paleo-Indian Indians once set up camp. In New Albany, the historic downtown is full of specialty shops to browse.

With this drive cutting through Hoosier National Forest you'll have a front-seat view (pun intended) to gorgeous fall foliage.  If you want to take this specific road trip you can see the map with directions, here.
