Fantastic Fall Getaways
In addition to the mesmerizing colors and dwindling crowds, autumn can also mean great travel deals. Consider these scenic destinations, perfect for taking in the beautiful fall scenery.
New York
Mild temperatures and fewer crowds make autumn perhaps the perfect time to visit the Big Apple. The refreshing crisp air begs visitors and locals alike to enjoy a meal outside or stroll through Central Park. Take a day trip outside of the city to view the state’s renowned fall foliage.
Napa Valley, CA
Autumn is the best time for a luscious and picturesque trip to Napa Valley, as it is harvest season in northern California wine country (the largest wine-producing region in the United States.) This is the favorite time of year for connoisseurs to flock to the vineyards for samples of forthcoming vintages.
Arizona
Providing the perfect setting for an autumn vacation, some of Arizona’s most rugged mountains and exceptional desert landscapes are located just outside Scottsdale. Further north, Coconino National Forest is a magnificent place to enjoy Arizona’s beautiful foliage.
Great Smoky Mountains, TN & NC
Nestled between North Carolina and Tennessee, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is home to approximately 100 species of trees with a breathtaking display of turning leaves. The best time to visit is mid-October through early November, with sugar maples, scarlet oaks, sweet gums, red maples and hickories providing the most spectacular display of foliage.
