Shenandoah National Park may be closed, (how ’bout re-opening them, Virginia?) but the leaves are still changing colors. If you’re looking for some of the better colors, the Virginia Department of Forestry has put together some driving tours in Central Virginia.

One of the better options to see fall colors is the Blue Ridge Parkway … just use the bathroom before you go (or find a tree).

Heck, made a day of it and make some stops on the Brew Ridge Trail (Devils Backbone has The Festy this weekend) or the Monticello Wine Trail. We don’t need the federal government to provide natural beauty for us.
