The Smokies
The Great Smoky Mountains of Colorado and North Carolina come into their own during the fall months. You just need to check out a few photos to witness the gorgeous scenery on offer. Rustic red leaves and beautiful orange skies make this wild haven the perfect place to spend a couple of weeks. The Smoky Mountains are one of the most popular places to visit in the USA. But don’t let that deter you because crowds have started to wind down now. You’ll be able to enjoy backpacking in isolation, exploring the surroundings for yourself. There’s plenty of places to stay too with great little hostels and welcoming hotels for any traveler.
Glacier National Park
If you want to spend the fall roughing it, we suggest you head across to Glacier National Park. This destination is perfect if you’re looking for adventure. You won’t find much regarding accommodation but you will find the perfect spot for a camping trip. Bathe in the crystal clear streams and explore this rugged terrain on foot for yourself. The lucky ones will find an abundance of wildlife if they venture far enough into the forests. You might even spot a bear or two! This destination is nothing short of a backpackers dream if you’re brave enough.
Columbia River
Or, how about taking a trip to Columbia River. The beautiful location boasts a scene like nothing you’ve seen before. Cross a rickety bridge and gaze down at a waterfall, plummeting over the edge of a towering cliff into the gorge below. Of course, you don’t just have to walk across it. Daredevils can try their luck at white water rafting. The river is unforgiving and you won’t be able to tame it, but you can certainly have fun trying to stay afloat. Don’t worry, there are plenty of guides to make sure you don’t get in too much trouble. If you just fancy gazing at the scenery, there are plenty of mountain roads. You can drive all across the landscape as the leaves start to blush, leaves falling on the paths ahead. It’s quite a dazzling scenic route, particularly as you climb ever higher.
