It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here are seven must-see North American fall foliage destinations.
In southeastern Ontario, Canada, Algonquin Provincial Park teems with forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife. Come fall, however, the park’s sugar maples and red maples colors emerge in droves. The best time to see fall colors in this park is from mid-September to mid-October. Other trees, such as poplars, tamaracks and red oaks, burst on the scene around November. © Elena Elisseeva | Dreamstime.com
Head to Acadia National Park in Maine this autumn to enjoy crisp weather and bold colors surrounding the trails and blanketing the mountains and hills. Not only are the crowds fewer come fall, but Acadia’s many trees erupt into reds, yellows, oranges and browns, creating a masterpiece. © Jason Busa | Dreamstime.com
Don’t think Alaska doesn’t enjoy the fall season. While there are no guided activities within Denali National Park in fall, countless trails offer prime spots to enjoy the season and its colorful flora. Look for aspen and balsam poplar’s yellow and golden leaves through September. © Simone Angela | Dreamstime.com
The first inklings of fall foliage on North Carolina’s Grandfather Mountain appear in early September and last for the next month or more. Trails like Woods Walk and drives like the Linn Cove Viaduct offer great outlooks and spots to take in the colors and fresh air. © Sean Pavone | Dreamstime.com
Prefer a fall foliage road trip? Hit the historic Columbia River Highway in Oregon and drive through countless natural features like Bridge of the Gods, the Columbia River Gorge and Multnomah Falls. Enter the Oneonta Tunnel to reach parking to access Oneonta Gorge Creek and Falls, all of which transform into a golden paradise come fall. © Deebrowning | Dreamstime.com
Its name lives up to the hype: Million Dollar Highway in Southwest Colorado is a 233-mile-long loop traversing some of the state’s most iconic terrain as well as towns like Ouray and Silverton. The highway’s highest point of 11,000 feet offers bird’s-eye views of the landscape and its autumn foliage. © Snehitdesign | Dreamstime.com
Just south of Seneca Lake in New York lies Watkins Glen State Park. With three trails, waterfalls and a series of steep stone steps, this park’s trails take on a new identity each fall thanks to its many outlooks and overlooks of waterfalls and rivers bathed in orange and red. © Mihai Andritoiu | Dreamstime.com
