Best Autumn Leaf viewing in Chicago?

Hi Gang,

It’s just about that time again: time to bite the bullet and try to survive another Chicago Winter. But before we start reserving parking spaces with old kitchen chairs, there is that brief season of autumnal beauty where the leaves turn a cacophony of colors.

Short of a drive to Door County, where are your favorite spots in and around the City to see the autumn leaves in all their glory? Thanks for any suggestions!..TRM

The Botanic Gardens in Northbrook

If you don’t mind a drive to the western suburbs, the Morton Arboretum in Lisle.
