It’s time to take full advantage of the lower temperatures and fantastic foliage. Take a pleasant drive through some of America’s most beautiful regions and relax. Here to help you do that is a coast to coast list of 14 fall road trip destinations for stunning scenery in the United States:
1. Blue Ridge Mountains, Georgia
Take a road trip through the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia. Start your drive at The Russell Brasstown Scenic Byway and drive through the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains along the well-known Chattahoochee River.
Stop in the Bavarian-village-like town of Helen and then the state’s highest natural point, Brasstown Bald, which is also reportedly Georgia’s “ultimate foliage viewing vantage point.” Go for a hike in the popular Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest, see the vineyards in Georgia Wine Country, and finish in Tallulah Gorge State Park to the east.
2. Rhode Island’s Little Charms
The nation’s smallest state is rife fall activities. Begin your outing at the popular Rail Explorers excursion in the city of Newport. Here pedal-powered vehicles take tourists down historic railroad tracks on interesting one-hour tours.
Next stop is Bristol to see the historic mansions there. Then, providing you visit during the month of October, you can go to the Roger Williams Zoo in Providence for the popular Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular. Lastly, make a stop along the famous Brewery Trail which actually includes the well-known Foolproof Brewing Company in Pawtucket.
