Utah is one of the best places to see fall foliage, visit great attractions, events and festivals. The last two weeks of September are usually the ideal time to find the best fall leaves in Utah’s mountains. Leaves may be mostly green in the valleys, but fall colors typically peak around the third week of September in scenic canyons and on hiking trails – the very personification of a cure for sore eyes and tired souls. Seeing the beauty of nature firsthand, and the wonderful transformation it does on its own without human intervention will make you marvel at how great the universe is!

If you are one of those whose idea of a vacation is someplace quiet and crowd-free, Utah is the best place to be during the fall. Knowing fully well how crowds can really change a person’s perspective of an otherwise awesome experience, when you visit Utah in the fall you usually encounter less crowds.

With the coolness of the fall season, and the crowds gone, you get the place practically to yourself! You get those awesome pics without someone accidentally being caught in the frame. Whether you’re a local, new in town or just cruising through it, the town of Hurricane has loads of great tips and events! After your nature trips you can venture to the Saturday Market, or downtown’s Farmer’s Market or Red Acre Farm. Family camps are also available if you are up to the challenge.

What about dropping by to see Judd Pumpkin Patch in Paragonah? Get outside the city a bit and get a feel of the country by venturing into this place where you can find many varieties of pumpkin and even pick yours right off the vine!

The autumn season in Utah is perfect hiking weather! Moderate and comfortable, not too hot and definitely not cold! Autumn’s deep blue skies peeking through amazing natural bridges are a perfect backdrop to those great shots you can take during your adventure. You can try out the Hurricane Cliffs Trail System, or simply chill out in the State Park where the lake was so beautiful and serene, the water clear and just warm enough for a swim while kayaking.

Perfect for a family getaway, or even with your group of best pals, you will never regret choosing this place for your next great adventure! With the crowds gone and the tourist spots almost completely yours, you get to savor and really enjoy your vacation. Lower rates as the summer crowd has left will be the icing on the cake! Feast your eyes on the colorful hues of fall and enjoy this time with your loved ones!

And we’ve got the perfect roster of vacation rentals for you to choose from for your vacation. Check them out at Kabino.com and then enjoy your fall getaway to southern Utah!

Known for its stunning landscapes and fun outdoor adventures, the Pacific Northwest is at its best during the fall. The weather is cool, the foliage is fantastic, and the summer crowds are gone, making autumn the perfect time to get out and explore this pacific paradise. From fall fun events to seasonal outdoor tours, there are plenty of ways to celebrate the autumn season across the area. Here are the best fall activities and virtual events in the Pacific Northwest! 

 

Leavenworth

Like any self-respecting German town, Leavenworth celebrates the autumn season with good food and better beer. During the fall, head to the Leavenworth Community Farmers Market any Thursday from 4-7 to browse vendors full of locally-grown produce, arts and crafts, local brews, and more. Best of all, it’s just minutes from Bavarian Mountain Suite, your lavish downtown condo rental!

Whistler

Fall is a great time to visit Whistler for several reasons. One of the best is the chance to view the area’s famous black bears and cubs in their natural habitat on a guided Bear Viewing Tour! Explore the wilderness and get up close and personal with the resident bears as they forage for the winter season – from the safety of a rugged 4X4 vehicle, of course! You’ll be just steps from the Olympic Plaza in our Tyndall Stone #206, a private downtown condo with sweeping views of Rainbow Mountain. 

Victoria

There’s no better time to soak in Victoria’s year-round foliage than during the fall. A trip to Beacon Hill Park during autumn finds its 200 acres awash in glorious hues of yellow, orange, red, and gold. Stroll along the water beneath orange-tinged willows or find a bench to admire the park’s many Japanese Maples bursting with crimson leaves. You can even walk to the park from your Beacon Hill View Condo, a spacious and sunny rental in the heart of downtown Victoria!

Cannon Beach

While fall is hardly peak beach season, it’s a popular time to visit Cannon Beach thanks to the Stormy Weather Arts Festival. This annual event celebrates the area’s vibrant cultural scene by packing as much live music and local artists into the weekend as possible. Stroll through the charming downtown streets as you take in live demonstrations, jamming sets from local musicians, and even a fun fashion show. You’ll be just steps from the event’s Coaster Theatre Playhouse at Cozy Cottage, a charming rental boasting coastal style and ultimate convenience!

San Juan Island

During the fall, San Juan Island comes alive with fantastic foliage and plenty of fun fall events to celebrate the harvest season. To get a real taste of the island’s fall flair, stop by the San Juan Islands Museum of Art to view their seasonal exhibitions. Fall 2020’s exhibition is “SPACE, MUSES, etc.”, a curious collection of works by Samuel Stubblefield.

Virtual Events

Don’t miss these virtual events for 2020, then put the 2021 versions on your agenda to return for next year!

The Port Townsend Virtual Film Fest

Screening more than 100 films in over eight venues, the Port Townsend Film Fest is “a film lover’s block party celebrating great films and filmmakers.” The festival attracts industry professionals and film buffs alike, culminating in a big screen event like you’ve never seen! This year’s program is fully virtual, allowing you to scope out the best new and noteworthy films without ever leaving your jammies. 

Filmmaking In The Wilderness: How To Tell Your Adventure Story

Cost: $22.50

This fun workshop hosted by The Mountaineers is led by Alex Maier, an experienced documentary filmmaker and long-distance hiker. In an interactive seminar, you’ll learn practical ways to document your hiking experiences by exploring the best tools and tips in the business for adventure filming. It’s a perfect lesson for new and noted Pacific Northwest adventurers!

It’s hard to describe the awesome wonder that comes with fall foliage in the northwest. When the season transitions from summer to fall (autumn), green leaves change to vibrant shades of red, orange and yellow creating a canvas of artistry that can’t be duplicated.

The Northwest has no shortage of glorious places to scope out excellent viewing of fall foliage. This list will guide you to them on a weekend trip or longer.

Teton Scenic Byway

Idaho harbors beautiful views along the 70-mile Teton Scenic Byway. Pack a snack, fill up with gas and prepare for breathtaking views throughout the tree-covered Teton Mountain Range. Expect to see leaves changing colors between late-September and mid-October in preparation for the coming colder months.

Keep in mind that many factors go into determining exactly when the leaves will change, and weather conditions often affect the vitality of the leaves. When in doubt, call local tourism departments, the Chamber of Commerce or even your vacation rental manager and ask about the status of the leaves. Also, Google is your friend, too!

Don’t forget to book a Teton vacation rental to call home base each evening. Choose a large vacation home that sleeps 11 or something smaller for a couple—truly there is a home for nearly every size party.

Central Oregon

Scenic highway drives are best for Oregon leafing season. More specifically, the Highway 20 corridor not far from Sisters, Oregon is the perfect place to find loads of color amongst the trees. Here, the maples lay low between the ponderosa pines and aspens, and the topography is dotted with hues of autumn. Timing is critical depending on the weather, but most likely you’ll find mid-September to mid-October to offer prime viewing.

Need a daily status on the transitioning leaves? Check out the Oregon Fall Foliage Hotline for updates. Also, plan and book your vacation accommodations as soon as you know when you’re traveling to ensure the best in local lodging.

Leavenworth, Washington

Again, mid-September through mid-October appears to be the perfect leaf viewing season in Leavenworth. Knowing that leaves in the Northwest change later as the season lasts longer will help you plan an appropriate time to pull off the perfectly timed visit. Pick a route and bring your camera. Starting around Waterfront Park and heading towards Lake Wenatchee and eventually the Puget Sound, you are going to get a colorful show!

It’s always a safe bet to plan your travel around the Autumn Leaf Festival in late September, Leavenworth’s longest running event founded in 1964. Join the Grand Parade and all the festival hoopla that celebrates the season!

No matter where you choose, the Northwest has great opportunities for fall foliage viewing.  Let’s plan that trip!
