Fall is just around the corner and while many Americans think vacation season is over, for some it's just begun. Autumn is one of the best times of the year to travel and not just because flights are cheaper during traveling's off-season.
It's also because fall is the time of the year when the leaves change color, food is being harvested, and American wildlife is on the move. With that in mind, here are just a few states to consider visiting this fall while you're out for your next autumn vacation.
Alaska: The state for nature-lovers
If you've never been to Alaska, you might think the state is always cold and covered in snow. Aside from the North, which has a subarctic climate, Alaska has some pretty mild summers and its 75 parks are as green as the rest of the country until winter hits.
Nature-lovers would feel at home visiting Alaska in the fall. Salmon is in season at this time and wildlife is on the move as animals start to look for mates. Whether you're a fan of fishing, hiking, kayaking, or you just love to sit at the lodge with a good book, there's something for you to do.
Vermont: Fall foliage for days
Those who are fans of fall vacations have most likely heard about Vermont's fall foliage. There's a reason for that.
Forests cover up to three-quarters of the state of Vermont. It also has the highest percentage of maple trees in the United States. It's no surprise then why Vermont is the most colorful state once fall arrives.
Louisiana: Ghosts and ghouls galore
Located in the humid South, it may come as a surprise that travelers would want to visit Louisiana during the fall.
But Lousiana has a plentiful amount of haunted attractions. For those who like their fair share of spooks and specters, Louisiana is where you can find them.
