OUR FAVORITE FALL DESTINATONS 🍁 🍂

What's up guys? Hi guys! So we just wanted to hop on and do a little video to talk to you guys about our favorite fall destinations. As you guys know, fall is one of our favorite times of year. Probably our number one favorite. Number one. We always tend to take some really cool fall adventures and you guys seem to love them as well. So we want to hop on here and talk to you about some of our favorite spots. Yes, in our opinion it's one of the best times to travel. It's some of our favorite memories of all time and we just have very sentimental connections to fall. You come alive in the fall time. We're gonna hop into this list and they're in no particular order but let's get into it. All right, we're gonna start this list off with one that's close to home. It's Great Smoky Mountains National Park. See where the road will lead to the unknown. There is no end if you believe. Just take my hand and come with me. Oh, you're like the sun coming up. You make my world come alive. Can't get enough. You walking by my side. You are my sunshine. Just recently in the past couple of years we went up there and absolutely loved it in the fall. It is the most visited national park in the country. Which is crazy. It's hyped up for a reason. The fall colors on the trails are just incredible. The vibrant colors. Cades Cove. Cades Cove, you guys. Oh gosh. Amazing. That's where you can see some little black bears if you want and it's a really chill just drive area and that's the first time Megan and I ever saw wild bears. It is such a drivable park and you can have so many beautiful views just by sitting in your car. One thing to note is that the colors do change later in the year. There's a fall foliage map that we kind of use every year to kind of plan our trips. It isn't perfect but it kind of gives you a good indicator. Keep an eye on those maps at all times. That will be the best way to indicate the fall colors based on weather changes and all of that in each location. But yeah, so Great Smoky Mountains is on the list. One that we visited a few years back during the pandemic, 2020. Jackson Hole, Wyoming. So Jackson Hole, Wyoming is just such a unique and beautiful place. It is just out in the middle of nowhere it seems with these beautiful mountaintops and they have the snow-capped mountains and all the beautiful vibrant colors. We visited in 2020 and honestly it was just so special. It really is and you're right there by the Grand Tetons National Park which is stunning during the fall time and then all around Jackson it's just a really cool place to visit especially if you're looking for that western town vibe. That is the place to go. It is so cool, so unique and it truly has some great shopping, great food and you can do things like horseback riding. Some really cool hikes. One of the best hikes we ever did was Delta Lake there which was just beautiful. So strenuous but worth it in the end and then you also get the wildlife. All the wildlife. They have bears, they have elk, they've got that pronghorn antelope. Lots of fun things to do in Jackson Hole. Yeah, it is perfect. Highly recommend visiting all of those super unique places in Jackson and it's so close to just a really cool downtown and it's just amazing. Best of both worlds honestly with that one. There's going to be a theme with that I think in this vlog. Yeah, definitely. Next up on the list is the spooky town of Salem, Massachusetts. One of our top favorite places for the fall season and specifically for spooky season Halloween. It is such a fun vibrant place to be during this time of year. If you're a fan of Halloween and all the spooky things, you've got to go to Salem at least once. It's so enriched in history and you can feel that while you're there. It's close to the water. They've got a lot of really cool spooky tours. Things like that and honestly a lot of really great shopping restaurants. Just a really great vibe overall. We didn't feel like scared because it was like fall and Halloween vibes. It just was fun. It was really cool. Yeah, it's a really fun thing to do. I think it would be fun as a family to do. They have the Hocus Pocus filming locations which that was one of our most exciting parts about visiting. We loved just popping around town to all the different filming spots and grabbing photos and videos and just seeing it in person was really exciting for us. So highly recommend Salem. Highly recommend. It is so cool. So next up on the list is Mount Rainier National Park. Oh So we actually went there last year in 2023. Unfortunately for us, the weather was totally crazy and we didn't get to explore Mount Rainier as much as we wanted to. The paradise area of Mount Rainier is incredible. We still got so many amazing photos and videos of that area with the famous waterfall Myrtle Falls. The Skyline Loop Trail is absolutely unreal. It's not super hard to walk. It's a little bit of an incline but it is an easy trail to see the top of the mountain. So you you have the beautiful views that like just are layered with fall colors and trees and then that snow-capped mountain and the waterfall is pretty unreal. It feels very magical especially during the fall time with how vibrant it is. For sure. And even on our gloomy day we were still in awe and it was so pretty. Try to get there probably late September early October for that one. It does start to get unpredictable with the weather and snow and things like that. Because it is that high elevation, high altitude. Looping back to the Skyline Loop Trail, it is about a five mile loop trail but you can still walk parts of the loop trail there. It's very doable. It's all paved and it's easy peasy. It's a really beautiful spot. So next up is Leavenworth, Washington. Please walk on by The closer I get to you I lose my mind I saw you today but nobody was there I thought I saw you today but nobody was there Do me a favor and I'll return it later That's what we said when we were young I decide me wants to rise and it's hard to say Which is such a fun place to visit because it is so insanely unique. It's a Bavarian inspired town here in the United States and it's known for Oktoberfest during the fall season which is something we actually got to take part in. And then it is also a perfect spot to visit for the holidays. All of the fall colors are just so vibrant and cool. It's in between Mount Rainier and North Cascades. Tucked away in the mountains so you really have like 360 mountain views there. They have really great shopping downtown. Lots of local businesses and super unique shops to the area. During things like Oktoberfest it's really really fun and exciting. Only two hours from Seattle so it's a pretty easy drive from the main city to come check it out even if you just want to go for a day. Next up is North Cascades National Park. Oh stages set like always. Won't be long before I'm gone. See them coming through the doorway. Wondering whose side they are on. So I take one shot in the darkness. I move along. I was on the way to Memphis. Got no love from the carolines. How much longer can I do this? Leaving half my heart behind. It takes one shot in the darkness to change my mind. And the years are passing by me. Man another really cool one and honestly so underrated. When we were doing some research on this trip last year we noticed that it's really not that heavily visited park. It's actually one of the least visited parks. Which is crazy. It's so cool. It's got some really incredible hikes. It's really close to two cool small towns in Winthrop and Bellingham. We got to experience both of those towns and they're both different vibes. Bellingham is more of a college cool hippie like hipster vibe town on the water. Winthrop is a western vibe which is also really cool. We loved the towns that it was connected to and kind of similar to Great Smoky Mountains. It's just a single highway that passes through there and you can stop along the way and do some hikes or just drive through and see some really cool views. It is truly so worth it and it is beautiful during the fall season. Next up on the list is Asheville, North Carolina. all that i know is you're the one for me while the world is fleeing you're all i'm needing no there's nothing you could do to lose my love even though i'm badly leaning on the good story this is such a fun city one that james and i we actually got to explore ashville during the weekend of halloween and so we had a really really great time in the city i loved it oh my gosh and also a really close place for us us living in georgia it's not a bad drive and surprisingly we had never been there before this was our first time and we loved it so much it's a college town it's very cool and eclectic they've got a lot of really great restaurants and shops and lots of local businesses which is always a favorite of ours it also has really great food yeah it's really great because it's along the blue ridge parkway which is a very popular route that runs from i believe it starts in georgia and it runs all the way up towards virginia maybe even further than that so you've got a lot of really beautiful towns and things along that path and ashville is right there another really iconic spot in ashville is the biltmore house and we did do a biltmore tour it is something that we definitely recommend especially if it's your first time yeah next up on the list is lincoln new hampshire i'd wait forever honey for one more minute with you i'd
