The last bright colors


The brilliant aspen, maples, and oaks have given way to the pastel colors of late autumn, only the bright tamarack colors remain. However, most people are looking for the brilliant red and flat gray of the sandhills at this time of year. Roads are congested with travelers from all over the world, the cranes are a major attraction for tourists and photographers. The best viewing is on Grettum Dike Road since more birds are on Fish Lake WMA this year than on Crex Meadows. This presents a great opportunity to see another wildlife area that is best known for its prairie wildflowers. If you get a chance drive Hickerson Road or Stolte Road.
