Change of seasons play out on nature's grandest stages

In Miami we are blessed/cursed with two seasons: Summer and Winter. That's why it's such a big deal when we see snow, or see trees changing colors (palm trees turn brown when they hit the ground).

So when I got this list that Ian Wilker of Gorp.com came with of the top 10 Autumn escapes: Fall's best forests. I had to share.

To the true insiders — people who live and work in one corner or another of the great North American forest — it's pretty much a given that autumn's the best time of year to be out in the woods.
