## Resource

Minnesota’s fall colors aren’t just Instagram-worthy—they’re a major economic engine, drawing millions of visitors who pump cash into local businesses. While visitor numbers and spending have risen for five straight years, growth has slowed due to inflation and tighter budgets. Travelers are now smarter shoppers, bundling activities like leaf-peeping with dining or shopping nearby—or even hitting the metro in one weekend. Camping at state parks offers a budget-friendly alternative, with campsite fees around $20–$35 and daily vehicle permits just $7. And don’t stress about missing peak color—those days before and after are still stunningly beautiful. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
