Fall Colors in the US
Seeing the changing of the colors of the leaves is something many people want to see. I have been able to see the beginning of the change but not the vibrant colors you see in pictures. We have been to a few of the places on the list and they are truly beautiful. The Columbia River Gorge in Oregon is wonderful especially the Multnomah Falls. Zion National Park in Utah is a stunning park with canyon trails, and mountains to view. Vermont and Kentucky are also very nice places. It is a good list for sure. https://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa/travel-tips-and-articles/the-best-places-to-see-fall-colors-in-the-us/40625c8c-8a11-5710-a052-1479d2754ad1
