Discover the most spectacular autumn in the landscapes of the USA

It’s said that there’s an ideal season for each country, and in USA’s case, it undoubtedly is Fall. When the well-known “fall foliage” arrives with its range of ochre colours, the landscape takes a breath-taking beauty. The expert travellers know it very well, and many choose to take a trip along country’s East Coast: there, Fall’s arrival to forests, parks and gardens is spectacular.

But because not all travellers are the same and USA is a huge country, it offers diverse Fall wonderful sceneries, and the best way to know them is a road trip, taking it easy. A trip like this is hurry’s enemy: you have to let go by the magic that surrounds you, enjoying the details. Can you imagine it? We will give you more details to make it happen.

 

From Maine to Massachusetts, by road

A colour palette, each one in all its possible variations: yellow, red, Orange, green, purple, grey, ochre… This is how USA Fall’s nature dress up, and dry leaves make a multicolor carpet that crackles under our feet.

If you love hiking, you will enjoy a lot going all over paths with a panorama that won’t be able to stop taking pictures. It’s important to not forget your photo camera if traveling to USA during this time of the year and also carry with you autumn footwear, to be comfortable, resistant, as for example a pair of cowboy boots, Blundstone ankle boots, or Red Wing shoes. Because although you do a car road trip, you can’t miss the chance to take long walks in the natural environments that will find.

 

 

But let’ start with the route, and one of the most recommended is in the Northeast, in particular we initiate our journey in the state of Maine, following with New HampshireVermont, then Massachusetts, and finally Connecticut. This last State, that borders in the north with Massachusetts, Rhode Island at the east, with the Atlantic Ocean at the south and with New York at west, is considered as one of country’s best destinations to enjoy autumn’s landscape. Continuing with the route, it’s worth reaching New York, Virginia or Pennsylvania: these three States offer a magical Fall’s image, where spectacular deciduous trees are the protagonists. 

The best dates to experience the fall foliage in all its splendour are from end of September until Thanksgiving Day, that always is celebrated on November’s third Thursday and is a national holiday. Keep in mind that after these dates, the landscape is bit to bit losing its enchanting color, and leaves die and first snowfall arrive.

 

Autumn at the west zone: California and Montana

If you prefer another geographical configuration and feel attracted by country’s west, California y Montana won’t let you down with their beauty on Fall. In particular, at Eastern Sierra, California, and from mid of September until mid October, the canyons, glaciers, steep summits and the geological formations, will captivate you. And at Sierra Nevada Mountains, with an extension above 300 km, will enjoy a golden landscape with infinite yellow leafs poplars. 

To make this route by car, you have the Eastern Sierra Scenic Byway, that goes joined to Sierra’s oriental base.

 

 

The Glacier National Park, at Montana’s northern area, is perfect to disconnect on a very quiet environment during Fall, full of beautiful trails. From beginning of October until mid of November, this place offers a snow-covered landscape, sprinkled by golden poplars, pine trees and firs. The mountains that surround the park where moulded by the glaciers during the last glaciation, and have been disappearing from the last 15 thousand years.

 

 

In this park a total of 62 mammal species have been documented: bears, mountain sheep, mouflons, elks, deer, coyotes, pumas… When Autumn arrives to its end, orange tones dominate the Glacier National Park, and it’s easy finding harvesting animals that are preparing for winter. 

Have you already a better idea about what means spending Fall in the USA? If you still have time and can do it, don’t wait more and start packing your suitcase, without missing your camera, favourite boots and a cowboy hat. Or maybe, we have convinced you to make it one of the trips will love to do in the future: it would be a great choice!
