If you have never traveled during the fall season, you have no idea what you are missing. There are so many benefits to traveling this time of the year. For instance, popular tourist spots are more affordable and there is less of a crowd that during the summer months. If you haven’t taken a vacation yet this year or you want to take one last getaway before the cold and snow hits, fall is definitely the right time to do so. Obviously it is a bit of a challenge when kids are at school, but you can take advantage of those long weekend holidays: Thanksgiving, or any off days the school might have.

  1. Travel is best done in the autumn because it is peaceful and reasonably priced. Beautiful foliage and bargains may be found at Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.

  2. I’m a bit biased, having lived in New England my whole life (New Hampshire and now Maine), but I do think fall is the best time to travel and see the beautiful foliage, especially for people who don’t get to see it in their own states. I never get tired of seeing it, year after year!

  3. Thank you for this. We used to go to a pumpkin festival in Heber, AZ. They closed down so I am looking forward to looking into the pumpkin festival you mentioned in AZ.

  4. Must say I want to use your photographer as these pictures are breath taking. I hope to one day go to Florida and visit the space station. Also maybe see a launch.
