The Autumn Drive and the Global Guide
When autumn comes, it is such a beautiful time to take a nice ride through some countryside. While you might know the area a few miles down the road, this year take a trip in another part of the country. You’ll find great places to go everywhere you can imagine.
But, you just might want to get more than a few brochures before you leave. You won’t know anything about the vineyards of Virginia because they are just gaining notoriety. A guide would know. A guide would also know how to properly tour you through the Virginia Wine Month coming in October.

If you didn’t have a guide, how would you know about the Cayuga Lake Scenic Byway. Taking a nice autumn drive is possible in New York when you get out of the city. From the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge to Ithaca, you’ll find plenty of beautiful places to visit or just stop and take in the scenery of the lake. It’s about a 90 mile drive that will give you an entire day of things to do. But if you stay, you might never want to leave.

If you’ve never been to Montana, ask your guide about Glacier Country. Going to the Sun Highway actually makes you feel like you are driving to the sky. Crossing the Continental Divide over Logan Pass, you’re nearly 7,000 feet. You can take the open-roofed Red Bus to catch more of the sites. But, you can also drive for yourself to make the journey more of your own.

Autumn drives are really a spice of life. I love this time of year when all the colors are going from green to red, orange and yellows. The sun just seems to set a little different in the evenings. It is magical. I often drive through the back roads of Virginia and the mountains of Western Maryland. But, I also love seeing different people in the regions they call home. There is an instant connection, one you can’t shake. The autumn drive, it’s a beautiful way to spend an easy Sunday.
