 Fall foliage – reds, oranges, yellows – will soon spring to life. The end of summer vacations and the start of autumn adventures occur soon with America’s Labor Day weekend, September 1 – 3. As sunsets start earlier, temperatures become cooler, and the leaves of trees and shrubs turn more colorful, the new season of fall beckons walks, hikes, and trips in the car. Where might you and your furry friend enjoy going this fall? Here are a few ideas for travel in America: New England and Mid-Atlantic States – from Maine through New England to the Great Smoky Mountains, a palette of vivid colors splash nature’s canvas. The leaves of hardwood trees, like maples and oaks, turn vivid shades of red, orange and yellow, creating a natural painting unlike one can find anywhere else in America. Western National Parks – on the other side of the U.S. national parks beckon with yellow leaves of aspen and bugling elk. The mating season for these majestic creatures takes place each fall, and in addition to the trumpeting, the males clash with one another for mating rites. Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, and Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho are some of the best places to see both bull elk and golden aspen leaves. Southwest Desert – Even America’s Desert Southwest experiences color changes in autumn, which comes later in the year than most places in the U.S. Summer temperatures can remain through October, but this is one of the best places to observe wildlife as well as fruits on cacti and yellows of shrubs. Butterflies, raptors, and other migrating wildlife species call southern Arizona and New Mexico home. Therefore, a trip to the Desert Southwest over Thanksgiving might be one to consider. Gulf Coast – food , fun, and frolic entice people to the Gulf Coast, and with cooler temperatures, autumn is an excellent time to visit. Beaches, food fests, and historical homes and battle sites are just some of the places to visit in America’s southern states. Oregon Coast – speaking of coasts and beaches, the state of Oregon has some of the most breath-taking views of the Pacific Ocean. State-run beaches cost little to nothing and are wonderful places to picnic, beach comb, horseback ride, and wildlife watch. Known as “the second summer,” August through October often brings more sunny days than other times of the year. As pet parents, there’s nothing worse than leaving Fido and Fluffy behind when we travel.
