Fall Getaways Worth the Trip
Saw us talking fall travel on TV? Here are three easy ways to squeeze in a getaway this season—without automatically booking a flight.
Stay Close to Home
You don’t have to go far to make a weekend feel like a getaway. Book a hotel in your own city or head somewhere within an easy drive, then use CityPASS or a local attraction pass to build an instant itinerary.
Head to a National Park
Cooler weather + smaller crowds make fall one of our favorite times to visit.
A few worth the trip:
Great Smoky Mountains → fall foliage
Zion → dramatic canyon color
Yellowstone → cooler-weather wildlife viewing
Have a fourth grader? The Every Kid Outdoors program gives fourth graders + their families free entry to national parks for the school year.
Take the Train
Want the trip itself to feel like part of the adventure? Try a scenic rail getaway. It’s slower, different + gives everyone permission to enjoy the ride instead of racing to the destination.
