Fall Colors

The leaves are changing, the air is cooling, the birds are moving, and here we lay witnessing the magnificent transition from summer to fall to winter. As we get up for school in the morning the sky remains dark. As we travel throughout the day, the changing color of leaves brightens up our day. Just imagine sitting on a lake as the sun is setting and glistening off the water. Around you, it is dead silent, except for the beautiful, color trees swaying in the background. Just imagine for a moment you are in serenity. Right about now, that sounds perfect. Here are the best places to experience these fall colors, beautiful sunsets, and this serenity.

 

If you would like to go out of the country, head to Canada. I know, Canada is not really that far away or is an exotic place, but at fall time, it can be gorgeous. The maples trees spread vastly throughout the country and during this time of year, they provide for a beautiful nature setting. One place to check out is Mont Tremblant, a ski town which is two hours from Montreal. The mountainous area is covered with trees and has plentiful outdoor activity options for everyone.

 

Oregon and Washington are states in the U.S. which you could visit. Most people don’t view these two states to be extremely popular tourist destinations, but at this time of year they are simply magnificent. Fall foliage covers the mountains and hilly areas of the two states. Oregon has river gorges, gardens, and even waterfalls that overlook a huge valley. For a very relaxed vacation where many tourists are unlikely to be found, go to one of these states. Its perfect to view the fall colors and spend some time alone or with loved ones.

 

Similarly, if you are a west coast lover, you can go out to California. Yosemite National Park, which has just been reopened. This National Parks shows off America’s fall with pride. The trees covering its vast landscape all change color at the same time creating a piece of artwork that one must see during their lifetime.

 

If you want to go south, head to the southern state of Texas or Tennessee. Chattanooga, Tennessee lies on the Tennessee River and is a prime spot for seeing fall colors. To admire colors in Texas head on a hike. The elms, oaks, sweetgums, and cottonwoods surrounding the lake, lining the creek, and covering the park allow for a splendid time. In the Northern Midwest, Lake Michigan and Great Lakes has some beautiful sights to see. Wisconsin and upper peninsula Michigan provide a place for many outdoor activities, trips on the lake, and the perfect place to see fall foliage. It is just like you imagined, the sun setting on the lake, while the colorful tress sway, and leaves rustle in the wind.
