As the temperatures drop, and the leaves change colors, it’s the perfect time of year to take in some nature. And while you’re communing with Mother Nature, there’s no shame in getting the perfect shot for your social feeds.
Here are six of the best spots for enjoying the beauty of fall — without the crowds getting in your way.
Telluride, Colorado
Telluride is typically a winter destination known for its skiing opportunities. But the early fall is perfect for seeing dramatic foliage. With plenty of trails for mountain biking, hiking, camping and more, it’s a perfect fall vacation destination.
Flagstaff, Arizona
Flagstaff is surrounded by seven national parks and has more than 3,000 archeological sites. If you’re wanting to camp, it’s recommended to visit in September and October during Under the Canvas Grand Canyon, which is open now until October 24.
The Berkshires, Massachusetts
It doesn’t get more charming than the Berkshires in western Massachusetts. There are plenty of rolling hills for the perfect foliage shot. To make your stay a little easier, connect with The Lenox Collection. Their three charming inns are perfect for driving from town to town — while taking great pictures along the way.
Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Jackson Hole is a popular spot year round — it’s a go-to destination for skiers, hikers, photography lovers and those who adore the outdoors — but foot traffic in the fall is a little lighter. Take a scenic drive through the national parks before the busier ski season kicks off in early November.
