Day Trip Recommendations
My wife and I are looking for some fun day trips to take from the Twin Cities (that are still queer friendly outside of the metro area). We just moved here this summer from Texas where day trips were pretty much nonexistent. We are loving exploring the cities, but I love to just “get out of the city” and go for a drive!
We are looking for two different types of day trips (see below) that we could take as summer winds down and into the fall. TIA!
Day Trip Type 1- looking for a town with a scenic drive along the way. It has a cute downtown area with good coffee, cute shops, restaurants that sort of thing. Walkable for the most part once you get there. Bonus if they go all out for fall/halloween etc.
Day Trip Type 2- love getting out into nature but I am not a hiker. I have seen some cool spots but they seem to require a lot of hiking. I have some mobility issues and asthma. I am fine with walking paths or short “mini” baby hikes but no crazy stairs or steep hikes. So looking for day trips that are more accessible along those lines of being flat or easy/quick to get to the scenic spots.
