When you look up the definition of what the perfect fall colors viewing weekend in Minnesota, this weekend would be it. With high temperatures today and tomorrow in the low 80s and a light wind, it is the perfect time to get out and view the fall colors around the Twin Cities on this last weekend of September.
The fall colors are becoming vivid along the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, MN. The colors are intense and one needs to do is take a drive along Minnehaha Parkway in Minneapolis or Sheppard Road in Saint Paul.
In this video from along the banks of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers in Saint Paul you can see all the Oaks, Maples, Birch and various other tree’s changing colors this weekend.
There is a surprise at the end of this video. I wanted to check out one more spot and it was in the Fort Snelling State Park where the two rivers merge. That’s when I got the shot, a young buck (Deer) in the wild, and up close eating. I added those shots to the end of the video. The park rangers say not to feed them or get out of your car if they are nearby but they will come up to people in the park even though they are wild since is like a sanctuary for them in the heart of the metro area.
October is only a day away, get out and enjoy the weekend.
