Rocky Mountain National Park

This park in Colorado might be best known for the majestic Rocky Mountain range, but in the fall the entire region comes alive with bright yellow foliage. Visit in September for peak viewing of the golden Aspens.

 

 

Shenandoah National Park

Rich red and purple tones abound in Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park. Hike the Appalachian Trail for an up-close foliage experience, or drive the scenic 105-mile stretch of Skyline Drive to cover more ground.

Zion National Park

Utah’s Zion National Park welcomes fall in October and November. The leaves change later in the season, which typically means fewer crowds. Explore the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive for panoramic views.
