Fall is my favorite season, and there's no better place to experience this time of year than right here in the Midwest. Now, I might be biased, but I think the following pictures back me up:

It looks like we're nearing "peak week" around the area; in other words, the best time to see the colors of the season. On-air last week, I mentioned East Post Road as my favorite route in Cedar Rapids to drive and see fall colors. I had several callers chime in with their recommendations:

1st Street NW and Ellis Boulevard

River Run Road

Edgewood Road between Blairs Ferry Road and 16th Avenue

Highway 965 between Cedar Rapids and North Liberty

How about you? Where's your favorite route for enjoying the colors of fall?
