As the warm days of summer lead into the cool nights and brisk mornings of fall, there comes a time when that perfect combination of weather makes for spectacular scenery across many parts of the country.

Know what we’re talking about?

Fall leaves.

From late September through late November, you can take a trip to places from Maine to Minnesota and see the highways and byways dotted with brilliantly colored fall leaves in red, yellow, and orange.

But, if you really want to surround yourself with nature’s beauty, head off the highway and into the National Parks. There, you’ll be blown away with how incredible this season is.

Here are some of our favorites.

The Blue Ridge Mountains should be on everybody’s bucket list. Here are 5 reasons to pack your bags immediately and head out on this scenic 469-mile adventure that goes from Virginia to North Carolina.

1. It’s Pretty Quiet

The first reason is, it’s pretty quiet.

So, roll down those windows, turn up that bluegrass, and enjoy the ride!

2. There Are Plenty of Stops  

Another good thing about this road trip is that you can hop off and on as you please. It’s a long, winding road with a ton of adventurous possibilities in store for you. Take any exit on the path to find restaurants, shops, museums

For example, when going on a long business trip, let’s say a 5-days trip, you don’t need to pack clothes for all those days. Instead, you could carry very little business attire and do regular laundry at your travel destination.

In other words, you don’t need to carry 20 pants for a 5 day-trip!

2. Try to fit all your things in one carry-on
