Tips / Destination

Before fall slips away and winter weather fills the air, embark on a nature adventure full of fall foliage and stunning scenery.

 

 Here are seven sample trips for inspiration:

 

Trek with Sherpas

A new itinerary from Adventure Life, Everest Trekking with Legendary Sherpas tour, in Nepal, allows you to climb and descend high-altitude trails, cross suspension bridges over rivers and pass through rhododendron and pine forests. Keep an eye out for wildlife like the rare musk deer and colorful Impeyan pheasants, all while taking in views of the peaks of Mount Everest and Lhotse. Throughout the trip, meet and mingle with sherpa people while staying in villages along the way.

 

Fall Under the Big Sky

Visit Big Sky, Montana, and stay at The Wilson Hotel. The hotel offers the opportunity for fall adventures in Yellowstone country. Travelers can hike and mountain bike trails surrounding the town, fish the famed Gallatin River or take one last tour of Yellowstone National Park’s natural wonders and wildlife before it closes for the season.

 

National Parks RV Trip

National parks saw record number of visitors this summer. As the numbers begin to go down, fall is a great time to visit for fewer crowds, less traffic and ideal temperatures. Blacksford rents fully stocked Mercedes-Benz Sprinter overland adventure vehicles from Winnebago, with an all-inclusive pricing model including unlimited miles, kitchens, bedding, bath supplies, free WiFi, no generator fees and a free annual pass to the national parks.

 

Camp & Mountain Bike Canyonlands

The 100-mile White Rim Trail loops in and out of multicolored spires, arches, buttes and mesas carved by the Green and Colorado rivers. You’ll spend the majority of the four-day mountain biking and camping tour riding famous off-road routes, while detouring to admire secret passages, hidden canyons, rock arches and Puebloan ruins.

 

Jackson Hole Glamping

Wyoming’s Fireside Resort offers 25 pint-sized, luxurious tiny house rentals designed by Wheelhaus. Located a short distance from Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole ski slopes, Fireside Resort provides a great spot for a fall getaway.

 

Autumn Galapagos Adventure

Fall is one of the best times of the year to visit the Galapagos Islands to experience wildlife and weather. The Finch Bay Galapagos Hotel joined forces with Scalesia Galapagos Lodge to offer a new week-long program comprised of daytrips aboard Yacht Sea Lion, glamping in luxury tents on Isabela Island and visits to remote and mysterious places filled with the diversity of the archipelago.

 

Pacific Coast Cycling

The Pacific Coast Route, one of America’s premier cycling routes, offers plenty of opportunities to experience this season. Visiting in autumn means avoiding heavy tourist traffic and enjoying beautiful weather. Pedal south through the lush forests of western Washington before following the Columbia River to the Oregon coast. Enter California to explore the massive redwoods, coastal land and sandy beaches with bike paths. Travelers have the choice to explore the routes on their own with a map from Adventure Cycling Association or join a guided tour.
