Top Five Things to Do This Fall
Leaf peeping, harvest dinners and the best hot-cider stops in town. Our local team's fall favorites.

Fall is the season locals wait for all year. Here are five ways to make the most of it.
1. Drive the Aspen Loop
This 42-mile scenic byway peaks in late September. Go early in the morning for the best light and fewer cars.
2. Hike to Hidden Falls
A moderate 4-mile round trip through golden groves, ending at a 60-foot waterfall.
3. Harvest Dinner at The Copper Kettle
A five-course, farm-to-table menu served family style every Saturday in October.
4. Paddle Cedar Lake
The water is glassy and the shoreline is ablaze. Rentals at the marina run through mid-October.
5. Oktoberfest on Main Street
Live polka, local brews and the town's legendary pretzel contest. Second weekend of October.
