Planning on visiting the US in the fall? Get stuck into cycling, wine tasting and whale watching on these TRIPS by Culture Trip and other small-group adventures.
As leaves turn into a mosaic of amber, rust and orange, and the air turns crisp and cool, the idea of a short break away – either to embrace the weather or to escape it – can be hard to resist. In the US, fall is one of the best times of year for a vacation. From hiking in Yosemite National Park to cruising along the Alaskan coast and visiting the Grand Canyon, there are many possibilities. Here, we round up the best fall vacation ideas in the US – bookable on Culture Trip.
Explore Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks – by Intrepid Travel
Wyoming is one of the best states in the US to embrace fall, when yellow, gold and orange leaves bring color to the mountains and forests in the Cowboy State. On this six-day adventure, you’ll explore Grand Teton National Park, including a hike up to Inspiration Point – one of the best viewing spots in the region. Keep an eye out for grizzly bears, moose, elk and beavers as you go. After visiting the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, it’s on to Yellowstone National Park, where you’ll stop by the Old Faithful geyser and the kaleidoscopic Grand Prismatic Spring and spot wolves in the wild with the help of a wolf-tracking expert.
Discover LA, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, all in one go – by Intrepid Travel
From the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles and Las Vegas to the tranquility of Zion, this 10-day desert adventure journeys through some of the most awe-inspiring national parks in the USA. Fall is a great time to visit the Grand Canyon, as the crowds aren’t quite so enormous. Also, the temperatures are considerably more comfortable. After hiking through Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park and exploring Monument Valley with a Navajo guide, you’ll stop by Joshua Tree National Park, which is renowned for its unusual rock formations, cactus fields and desert wildlife. Cap off your trip by catching rays on the beaches in LA.
