A weekend away in Ashland
At a distance of 350 miles, Ashland is just about as far away from Milwaukee as you can get without leaving the state. It'll take you a good six-or-so-hour drive to get there, but the drive is gorgeous in any season and the trip gives you a good opportunity to take in the vast expanse of Wisconsin.

National Forest abounds with fall colors
The leaves started turning a couple weeks ago in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. There are few more spectacular places in the country, perhaps even the world, to go fall color watching.
