Autumn is a great time to travel if you like golden foliage and small crowds.

The US has some great fall travel destinations, including Tarrytown, New York, and Road County, Wisconsin.

Tarrytown, New York is the perfect place for a Halloween adventure.

Just an hour from New York City, Tarrytown is a great city getaway.

It is beautiful all year round, but especially in autumn, when the foliage begins to change color. Enjoy fun activities, tranquil foliage hikes and beautiful views of the Hudson Valley.

Tarrytown is located near Sleepy Hollow, the setting of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, making it the perfect town to visit around Halloween.

There are haunted houses, graveyard tours, and the famous Great Jack-o-lantern Blaze event with hundreds of carved pumpkins.

Almost perfect weather in San Francisco in the fall

San Francisco is always beautiful and has a lot to see and do all year round, but in terms of weather, autumn is the best time to visit.

The temperature is higher than in a rainy winter, and it is sunnier outside, without the morning fog that usually occurs in summer.

The Kentucky Triangle Is Full of Fall Events

In the fall, you might not consider heading south, but the Kentucky Triangle is made up of three popular cities - Bowling Green, Owensboro, and Paducah - which host various fall events.

Bowling Green has the opportunity to take advantage of the wonderful weather to enjoy the fall festivals and explore the Mammoth Cave National Park.

Owensboro has plenty of bourbon and barbecues, as well as a great farmers' market.

Paducah is a UNESCO creative city that is full of history and art. It has a fun pumpkin market that is worth a visit.

In September, you can visit the Utah State Fair with a rodeo.

If you want to go skiing, then usually there is an opportunity at the end of October.

Visit the Finger Lakes for breathtaking views of nature

Another great place to visit in New York in the fall is the Finger Lakes region, known for its foliage. There are so many things to do here! Don't miss out on hot air ballooning, hiking, wine tasting visits to vineyards, relaxing spas, and Hiking Yoga.

Every fall from 2015 to 2019, the city of Ithaca turned into Diagon Alley for a Harry Potter-themed festival, but it has been on hiatus since 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

If you want to do something spooky for Halloween, visit New York's Haunted History Trail or walk among the ghosts.

The area has a variety of places for fall snacks, including the annual Apple Tasting Tour, the Finger Lakes Cheese Trail, or the Sweet Treats Trail.

Visit Salem, Massachusetts if you love all things spooky

Salem, Massachusetts, comes alive in the fall. There may be a bit more people here than some of the other destinations on the list.

The city is home to the historic Salem Witch Trials that took place as far back as the 1600s, and as such is full of creepy history.

There are haunted tours, graveyard tours, and haunted sightseeing tours, all right on the water, so you're sure to see great views.

Taos is beautiful in autumn.

Door County is considered one of the best places for fall foliage views in the Midwest.

You can drive on Highway 57 or 42 to see it all with lighthouses and European-style buildings along the way.

The peninsula has pretty towns and orchards where you can stop to experience historical events, local art and delicious food.

The best time to visit is early October, when all the leaves are changing in color, but before it gets too cold.

Have fun with the whole family in Orlando, Florida

If cool autumn weather isn't for you, but you still want to experience all the fun of autumn, then feel free to head to Orlando.

Autumn brings cooler temperatures than the humid summer heat, and Disney World and Universal Studios offer fun for the whole family.

Universal Studios throws Halloween Horror Nights full of spooky haunted houses that will cheer you up for Halloween, while Disney offers a family Halloween party in the Magic Kingdom.

Both theme parks have changed the rules for their fall events amid the coronavirus pandemic, but they still offer an eerie vibe.

Go Hiking in Asheville, North Carolina

Another southern destination worth visiting is Asheville.

The city is a great place to fall because the season here is very long and offers a varied color palette of foliage.

In addition, you can ride a cable car, go hiking, fly in a hot air balloon or stay in a cozy cabin in the forest to just relax and enjoy the views.

Stroll through the beautiful historic city of Boston, Massachusetts

There are many outdoor sightseeing opportunities in Boston.

If you're more of a city traveler, it's hard to pick a better city than Boston during the fall months. Like the rest of New England, the city features beautiful fall foliage.

Boston is already picturesque and charming, but with the colors of autumn it is even more beautiful than usual. The weather is perfect - not too hot and not too cold, plus there is plenty to see and do.

Go shopping, enjoy a delicious meal, or go on a historic city tour.
