GAYLORD, MI - Some hefty wildlife, or some beautifully wild views: You have a couple fun choices when you’re picking a fall color drive route near this Up North adventure spot.

Autumn colors are heading toward their breathtaking peak in this Alpine-themed town, and the forests in the area are lighting up with reds, deep yellows and bright shades of orange.

We checked in with our friends at the Gaylord Area Convention & Tourism Bureau, who have mapped out two colorful driving routes for autumn leaf peepers this year.

They both offer big views, but each has their own kind of flair.

“You can’t take a wrong turn in Gaylord in the fall even if you try,” tourism staff said. “Every mile of highway, scenic country road and dirt two-track has its own hidden gem for leafers to discover.”
