Best Places to See the Fall in the USA

With the Autumn equinox fast approaching (22 September), check out the ETG list of the best places to see the Fall in the USA. With the summer vacation period over, flight and hotel prices are often much cheaper and the weather is still sunny and not too cold to enjoy a walk in the great outdoors.

You can now download eBook versions Lonely Planet as individual chapters for a few euros, and read them on your tablet, smartphone, eBook reader or laptop.

ETG Tip: Combine a trip to New York City to see Central Park in all it's autumn glory, with a train ride to Maine or Vermont.

Best Places to See the Fall in the USA

1.  New England Fall Foliage Road Trips

Covers: Connecticut, Berkshires, Boston, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, White Mountains, Portland, Interior Maine, and more

2. Chicago - Lake View & Wrigleyville (Chapter) Lonely Planet

Wrigley Field, both cursed and hallowed, draws baseball pilgrims. The bar-filled neighborhood around it parties hard and collides with the rainbow banners of Boystown, the nearby gay district. Kicky eateries and shops cater to the masses.


3. Portland- Washington, Oregon & the Pacific Northwest (PDF Chapter)

Dynamic yet mellow, Oregon’s largest metropolis boasts a vibrant downtown across the Willamette River from charming neighborhoods full of friendly – and often zany – people. A haven for eco-activists, outdoor nuts, vegans and dog-lovers, with countless brewpubs, coffeehouses, knitting circles and book clubs.


4. Vermont - New England (PDF Chapter)

Whether seen under blankets of snow, patchworks of blazing fall leaves or the exuberant greens of spring and summer, Vermont’s blend of bucolic farmland, mountains and picturesque small villages make it one of America’s most appealing states.

5. Maine - New England - (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

With more lobsters, lighthouses and charming resort villages than you can shake a stick at, Maine is New England at its most iconic. The sea looms large here, with mile upon mile of jagged sea cliffs, peaceful harbors and pebbly beaches.

This is the Upper West Side & Central Park chapter from Lonely Planet's New York City guidebook.
