Fall is one of the best times of year and it goes by so fast. I've been lucky enough to spend many October months in New England, and a few out west. Last year, I wrote a post on the fall foliage of Utah, and this year, I am updating the list throwing in some New England gems with the bunch. Below, I have included some of my favorites as a farewell to fall. Featuring some of the best hikes, drives, and the most quaint towns, this list below is some of my favorite things about fall from New Hampshire to Utah. Enjoy.
To start the best of Fall on KW list, we have Snowbird's Oktoberfest. Snowbird Ski Resort in Utah is beautiful during the fall months and Oktoberfest makes the scenery even better. Beer, bratz and the start of the foliage in Utah, this is the perfect way to kick off fall in the west. Be warned it can get crowded as Snowbird's Oktoberfest was voted one of America's 10 Best Oktoberfests by Men's Journal Magazine. Snowbird's Annual Oktoberfest attracts over 60,000 visitors and has grown to become one of the largest festivals in Utah.
Bryce Canyon makes the list not for its fall foliage, but the chance to see snow covered Hoodoos and a less crowded park. Bryce is my favorite National Park and it is so fun to visit with that chilly in the air as you hike the loop among the hoodoos. Catch this in the fall where there are less visitor's and see the snow-capped hoodoos down in the amphitheater. Be warned, because of the higher altitude this park can be quite cool in the park, bundle up and anticipate snow.
