Summer seems to be an overrated time of the year to travel. Not only the heat, but the crowds of people descending on the tourist’s spots can also make travelling seem a bit odd. When you consider Fall, the temperature is lower, the climate is pleasant and the famous tourist spots look almost abandoned which lets you enjoy everything at your own time. Not to mention the beautiful foliage changing colours that come with Fall.
You do not have a plan a Europe trip to take in the beautiful Fall season. Every bit of the beauty is available right here in the US. Here are 5 beautiful spots that are sure to take your breath away.
- Nashville, Tennessee
Nashville otherwise called as “The Music City” lives up to its hype, particularly in the fall when the International Music Festival, Southern Festival of Books and the Americana Festival return to the city. If you ever visit Nashville, it should be in the Fall, just to attend the Music City Food and Wine Festival where you can enjoy cooking demos from famous chefs and enjoy the southern hospitality.
- Santa Barbara, California
Just like its French counterpart, the French Rivera, Santa Barbara, California otherwise called as American Riviera has a pretty hot summer season. It is also when everything is at its peak the temperature and also the prices. But come fall, everything plummets making it affordable for everyone. Given that Santa Ynez Valley is close to Santa Barbara, you can also enjoy wine at the many tasting rooms.
- Portland, Oregon
Portland, Oregon is one-of-a-kind city which is an odd inclusion in our list. But the McMenamins locations makes it imperative that we add Portland here in the Fall destinations. McMenamins purchases the old buildings and restores them as places of entertainment. In Portland, they have a renovated Kennedy school which acts as a hotel with bars placed strategically around the campus.
- Yosemite National Park, California
Yosemite National Park has been ravaged by wildfires in the summer but in the Fall they are a sight to behold. If you are into hiking and camping, then Yosemite National Park is where you should be. You have various waterfalls including the Yosemite falls and other sceneries to look for. Whether you choose camping or Majestic Yosemite Hotel to stay the breathtaking beauty will take your breath away.
- Las Vegas, Nevada
Summer or fall or winter, Las Vegas is a happening place all around the year. You can be forgiven if you think Las Vegas, Nevada is all about gambling. The other tourist spots include the Hoover Dam, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and more. The Hoover Dam itself is huge and the sight of it makes you breathless. Don’t forget to walk around and take in the majestic beauty. Red Rock Canyon has some amazing rock formations and also waterfalls.
And of course, whenever you are tired and want to spend some alone time during your hectic travel schedules, you can resort to some Gambling. You can indulge in video slots or Poker or any type of table games like European Roulette or Blackjack.
