Alaska: Denali National Park - This magnificent national park will never be confused with New England when it comes to leaf-peeping, but the sight of burnt orange and rust on the tundra floor will still take your breath away. In addition to the eye-catching hues on display, autumn is an ideal time to explore without the crowds and see wildlife making final preparations for the long winter ahead.

Arizona: Phoenix - My future retirement spot and the reason behind my GSD's name! The extreme heat of summer is but a distant memory come October in Phoenix, making it the perfect season to get out and explore all the area has to offer. Everything from hiking to patio dining feels better in fall, and when ASU plays football at home, Tempe throws one big party. The Arizona State Fair (October 1 - 30) will be back this year as will the Valley's myriad of Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos celebrations. Have you ever visited this destination?

Arkansas: Buffalo National River - Spend a lazy autumn day floating down the beautiful Buffalo River, which in 1972, was declared the nation's first-ever national river, and you'll fall head over heels for fall in the Natural State. Along the way, you'll have plenty of chances to sunbathe on a sandbank under bluffs sporting a splash of color. Have you ever visited this destination?
