Seasons

Best Time to Drive

The beautiful fall colors makes an autumn drive a must. However, the quiet, snow-white winter landscape is a beautiful backdrop as well. Spring and summer both carry their own fascination for birders, photographers, and sight-seers.

High Season

Summer is the busiest season in the area, but the Paul Bunyan Scenic Byway is always a pleasant drive in any season.
