My favorite spot is Hawthorne Glen, a forested enclave nestled in the West Side of Milwaukee. The leaves turn into lovely shades of orange and yellow around this time of year. A winding trail at the top of a tree-covered hill runs down to the bottom, allowing you to be completely enveloped in autumnal glory. And with a smaller footprint of about 25 acres, you can get lost without actually getting lost. 1130 N. 60th St.
