My fave fall trips in the US 🥰🍂🍁

These 8 destinations are some of the best places to see autumn colors. From the classic New England road trip to driving through golden aspens in Colorado and even a short but stunning season in Alaska 🍂

📍 Peak foliage varies every year (and by region), so always check local foliage trackers before planning your trip.

🍁 Pro Tip: Foliage in the USA peaks north to south. Starting in Maine and Alaska in late September, then moving down into New York, Vermont, Colorado, and through late October. Plan your trips around this to help you catch the best colors!

Save this post for your fall trip! ✨🚐
