From New Mexico to Wisconsin, leaves are turning.

“When temperatures cool across the United States, the colors of the leaves heat up. States like Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont seem to steal all the glory when it comes to fall foliage and leaf peeping opportunities—but what many travelers don’t realize is there are a bounty of destinations for watching the leaves change in every region across the U.S. From Georgia, to the mountains of Arizona, and beyond, here are 13 destinations for fall foliage that are nowhere near New England.

Sonoma Valley, California has fall foliage from vineyard Harvest Season in September through November. Immerse yourself in the changing colors with a tour of one of several different vineyards by Sonoma Adventures. Or, take a scenic drive between the towns of Sonoma and Kenwood, where the roads wind through endless rows of grapevines boasting shades of crimson, orange, and gold. To work up a sweat, head to Jack London State Historic Park outside Glen Ellen for 29 miles of backcountry trails through mixed forest, woodland, and meadow scenery. MacArthur Place, a luxury boutique 64-room hotel on six open acres of land, makes a scenic home base. ” – Molly O’Brien, September 2021
