Everyone loves the idea of enjoying a gorgeous scenic tour of fall foliage, but do you know where to find it? Not all regions are created equally when it comes to having vivid, colorful autumns showcasing lots and lots of gorgeous trees. We’ve got you covered. All you have to do is pack your bags, hitch up your new or used RV, and hit the road! Here are the top West/Midwest spots for leaf peeping this fall!
Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway
Talk about taking the scenic route! This “enchanted” 83-mile byway in New Mexico lives up to its name thanks to unreasonably pretty fall foliage – and different landscapes to see it all from mountains to mesas to forests.
Aspen, Colorado
The Rocky Mountains will give you an unforgettable landscape, and the golden aspen trees which give this area its name practically illuminate the scenery. You’ll want to visit Maroon Bells – the perfect view spot for foliage, and it has a picturesque lake at the base!
Rocky Mountain National Park
If Aspen wasn’t enough, see what the rest of the park has to show off! This beautiful park is full of sensational viewing points. Stop, slow down, and take it all in. Ahhh!
Glacier National Park
The Rocky Mountains continue their impressive stretch into Montana. And this national park is no exception! You’ll find more than 700 miles of trails – nope, that’s not a typo! – that deliver incredible foliage. Forest bathe where the colors are just right. Don’t miss this stop!
Columbia River Gorge
Combine leaf peeping with waterfalls and what do you get? One memorable visit! This National Scenic Area is located in Oregon’s Cascade Mountains. Want to return year after year? We totally don’t blame you.
North Cascades National Park
After visiting Columbia River Gorge, follow the Cascade Mountains even further north into Washington state. These mountain peaks, carved by glaciers, will dazzle you with bright autumn colors.
Maple Pass Loop
Washington state is in full form with this 6 ½ mile loop around Lake Ann, situated in the northern part of the state. Enjoy the fresh air and vibrant colors of maple trees sprinkled through the hills.
