Asheville, NC
#1 in Best Fall Vacations
Asheville, North Carolina’s proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Trail means the views of fall foliage are unparalleled. Visit the city between early October and early November to see the most vibrant colors on the surrounding mountains. And you can’t miss sampling the city’s tasty craft beers: Asheville is home to about 30 breweries serving roughly 100 local brews. While you may not be able to sip it all, make the most of your time by signing up for a brewery tour of the city.
Grand Canyon
#2 in Best Fall Vacations
Travel to this Arizona national park in autumn to enjoy the same stunning natural scenery that wows year-round but with temperate weather, fewer people and lower room rates. The conditions are perfect for hiking, though you’ll want to arrive before mid-October if you plan on trekking the popular North Rim trails and desire access to full visitor services. For additional scenery, book a trip along the Grand Canyon Railway. As you ride north from Williams, Arizona, to the Grand Canyon, you’ll be treated to views of a variety of animals and plants.
