(WXYZ) — Summer's almost out the door and soon fall will be upon us! That means the beauty of fall colors is just around the corner.

The County Road Association of Michigan has released a list of some metro Detroit roads to view fall colors in metro Detroit.

“Driving the county roads is an ideal way to view fall colors,” said Denise Donohue, executive director for the County Road Association (CRA) of Michigan. “This list of "don’t miss" fall color drives reflect the best suggestions from nearly two dozen county road agencies who know the best color spots in their area.”
