The border of the two states features the Mississippi River, St. Croix River valleys and the many tributary rivers and streams, explaining the predominance of winding roads in this area.
Along Lake Superior on both the north and south shores it's heavily forested with rolling hills. Elevations range from about 700 ft to slightly under 2,000 ft. Also within this region in Wisconsin is a section called the Driftless Area. This beautiful and unique area of the Midwest is characterized by jagged and rugged terrain with many cliffs and other rock outcroppings.
Riding in this part of the country the temperature can get rather cool sometimes in the fall so be sure to bring along your gloves, chaps and leathers jacket.
In late September and through the middle of October around Hayward and Spooner Wisconsin, the landscape is filled with plenty more winding roads with trees in full fall co
lor along them.Northern Minnesota has plenty of tourist destinations that are great to take in anytime of the year, but visiting in the fall when there aren't as many people is always nice. Tettegouche, Itasca and Soudan underground mine state parks are just a few of my favorites.
If you decide to take the tour of the Soudan underground mine be sure to take a windbreaker into the mine as the temperature is rather cool 1/2 mile under the earth's surface.
Most state parks in Minnesota are open through the end of October and some are open all year round, but you probably want to make sure when they're open before leaving on your trip.
Where ever you decide to go just remember to have fun and enjoy the scenery.
