Many people think fall is the most beautiful season and it’s easy to see why. The colors, smells and treats are unique to the season and bring a sense of coziness and comfort. A great way to experience fall is to take an RV road trip — there are so many amazing places to visit that really come alive in the fall.
Here are some top places to visit:
The Finger Lakes Region
Take a trip from New York to experience the scenic Finger Lakes region. You can drive through Pennsylvania and take a rest in Tobyhanna park. From there, a quick detour to the borough of Jim Thorpe will provide some fantastic sights.
Its mountain scenes can be breathtaking in fall. You may also want to arrange a hike in the Lehigh Valley and enjoy the colors of fall. If you love wine, there are excellent wineries at Cayuga Lake.
Blue Ridge Parkway
If the colors of fall trees are your thing, then this is a great route. You’ll see a lot of them as you drive this road that stretches just under 500 miles, connecting Shenandoah National Park to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
