The Great River Road near Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin

In the Scenic Byways section of our website, we have attempted to select routes that offer scenic beauty and travel through areas where artisans are likely to congregate. Largely these tours will be through rural and small town middle America. The Byways Directory (below) is organized for both scenic day trips and more extended tours.

The Scenic Drives Tours portion of our "Quilted Highways & Scenic Byways" website is an expansion of www.SuperiorTrails.com, our Lake Superior Circle Route travel website. This will be growing section of the quiltingpathways.com as we discover new areas that offer scenic travel, interesting attractions as well as other worthwhile things to see and do. While we profile events and activities of special interest to quilters . . . at the same time we highlight other things to see and do (that may appeal to the quilting spouse who frequently spends many hours resting on the "husband chair or bench" at quilt shops while the quilter browses!)
