]]>Just outside of Cleveland in Ohio’s Cuyahoga Valley National Park, this historic railroad offers passengers a front row seat to an impressive display of hickories and oaks. Come fall, the trees burst into a tapestry of rich autumnal colors, typically peaking toward the end of October. The line even has special dome cars with floor-to-ceiling windows for optimal foliage gazing.
Renowned as the world’s first mountain-climbing cog railway, this line provides passengers with a unique perspective as it ascends to the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire. Views from the railway are spectacular year-round, but are even more beautiful when the leaves start to change.
West of the Mississippi, the historic Georgetown Loop Railroad winds between former mining towns Georgetown and Silver Plume at heights of up to 600 feet. While perhaps not for the faint of heart, the journey does offer some truly incredible foliage views for those who don’t mind venturing to such altitudes. The line even hosts fall-themed events throughout the season such as a Fall Colors Train and a Pumpkinfest ride!

]]>The Carpathian Mountains that run through the Transylvania region of Romania make for some truly spectacular foliage viewing around early to mid-October. We recommend staying in the city of Brasov, visiting Bran “Dracula’s” Castle, and driving along Transfagarasan road for some of the best sites.
Hrensko is the ultimate destination for anyone in search of some peace and quiet or people with a strong disdain for crowds. The village has less than 300 inhabitants but is home to several beautiful hiking trails that are perfect for enjoying the changing leaves.
You don’t have to venture into the countryside to see the leaves change – the city of Paris has plenty of fantastic places to sit and watch the foliage. What could be better than soaking in a view like this over a chocolate croissant and cafe au lait?

]]>Charleston is beautiful any time of year, but we find it to be a much more pleasant destination when the summer heat has gone. Special fall tours of the city are held throughout October, and we especially love to visit the farmer’s market, which runs until the end of November.
We’d be remiss not to mention a foliage-centered spot, and Woodstock is definitely one of the best. The town is also home to several orchards for picking your own apples and the famous Billing’s Farm, where you can play pumpkin bowling.
Santa Fe has some of the best fall festivals in the country. The weather is ideal throughout the month of October, and the Harvest Festival, International Balloon Fiesta, and Wine and Chile Fiesta are all worth the trip.

]]>This campsite is located just next to the Maine border, and it’s a great option if you’re looking for a quiet place to be one with nature. You’ll find plenty of wildlife and beautifully colored trees when camping here in early fall—just note that most of the leaves are gone by late October.
Cabin rental options make Brighton State Park in Vermont a top choice if you’re looking to camp in a little more comfort. Stay inside and relax or venture out for a hike on one of the park’s trails until their camping season ends in mid-October.
Burlingame is one of the larger campgrounds in New England, so you’re sure to have plenty of space to enjoy nature. It surrounds a lake, so take a swim or rent a kayak as you take it all in.
