Fall is hands down my
favorite time of year to vacation pretty much anywhere. If you head north this
time of year mother nature is putting on her best show of the year and painting
the skyline with the changing colors of the leaves and if you head south
towards the beach the weather could not be any more perfect, plus the summer
beach crowds are long gone.
So if you have the itch to be
spontaneous, wake up on a Saturday morning, pack a few things, and hop in the
car to head to one of your favorite spots or have an adventure somewhere new, I
vote that you definitely give into that itch! And luckily, if you are in doubt
of where to go Presence Media has put together a guest post for
this weekend highlighting the top fall travel destinations!
Fall is upon us, which means a major slow-down in
travel. For those of us willing to go against the grain, there are some amazing
travel opportunities during this time of year. In this post we'll go through
the top U.S. fall travel destinations.
RV Trip Through the Colorado Wilderness
The Colorado Rockies are peppered with beautiful aspen
groves. During the fall, the leaves of these aspens change color from green to
a luminous gold. Many refer to this transformation as nature's annual
"Grand Finale." In the fall months, RV parks around the state become
significantly less congested. All of the state's camping sites are also far
less competitive during this time of yea. For these reasons, taking a road trip
in an RV is the perfect plan. You can rent an RV, fly into Denver International
Airport, pick up your RV, and hit the road. You can easily lose yourself in the
beautiful countryside and not see the same thing twice. An autumn RV trip
through Colorado is truly an experience you will never forget.
Bike Missouri's Katy Trail
Another amazing place to witness the change of seasons
is on Missouri's Katy Trail. You can meander through hundreds of miles of tail
on the bike ride of a lifetime. The trail is dotted with small hotels and bed
and breakfasts along the way to provide a good-night's rest. The trail will take
you through a smattering of charming small towns, countless restaurants and
breweries, and even some surprisingly high-quality wineries. The Katy Trail
stretches from St. Louis to Kansas City. Some ambitious travelers will do the
entire trail, however most plan out only a small portion. Bicycles can be
rented for a "there and back" trip to keep travel plans simple.
Leavenworth Oktoberfest
In Leavenworth, Washington you can find one of the
biggest Oktoberfest festivals in the country. Every year, visitors descend on
the Bavarian-rooted town for days of parades and celebration. Of course, what
Oktoberfest celebration would be complete without lots, and lots... and lots of
beer? Some of the most delicious beer in the world is featured at the event,
along with plenty of entertainment. While in town, be sure to sneak away from
the festivities to check out the architecture of Leavenworth. The traditional
Bavarian style is stunning against the backdrop of the surrounding mountains.
Yellowstone
Yellowstone trips in summer can frustrating. With
camera-toting tourists abound, sometimes it feels more like an amusement park
than a wilderness area. Yellowstone is also a great option to add onto your Colorado RV Trip
if you're looking for a longer adventure. Like Colorado, Yellowstone also makes
an absolutely jaw-dropping transition into fall. You'll also enjoy cooler
temperatures and more wildlife movement. A fall trip to Yellowstone will leave
one wondering why people make summer time the peak season.
It's amazing how much fall travel can enhance your
experience. Enjoy all of the perks of fewer crowds, cheaper costs, brighter
colors, and cooler temperatures by planning a fall trip. You'll be left wondering
why you didn't make it a priority sooner.
Wonderful Ideas for Fall!
