County road agencies throughout Michigan released lists of the best roads for viewing fall colors this year.
“This list of don’t miss fall color drives reflects the best suggestions from over two dozen county road agencies who know the best color spots in their area,” said Denise Donohue, executive director for the County Road Association of Michigan.
In West Michigan, fall colors are expected to peak the week of Oct. 7-14. Drivers can share their experience using #LoveFallRoads and posting to CRA’s Facebook or Twitter pages. Those who share are asked to include an intersection, the county, and the closest city or village in their posts.
