Those with preschoolers, or homeschoolers: you're lucky! Once the schoolkids are back in school, you can enjoy reduced rates, reduced crowds, and - often- nicer temperatures in Fall. For the rest of us: Fall offers weekend getaways, plus long weekends in October (Columbus Day, and Thanksgiving in Canada)-- and Thanksgiving in the US in late November, of course. Below are ten suggestions for fall vacations: from weekend getaways to longer trips.
White Mountains, NH - Packages from the Appalachian Mountain Club
New Hampshire's White Mountains offer many outdoors activities: hiking, backpacking, paddling, cycling, fishing...
And one way to enjoy this Great Outdoors during the fall months is through a (nearly) all-inclusive package brought to you by the Appalachian Mountain Club. Packages include accommodation at one of several lodges, family-style breakfasts and dinners, fall foliage walks and hikes, nature programs. Nice perk at the Highland Lodge: L.L. Bean gear room lends outdoor gear such as fleece jackets and hiking boots.
Look for packages such as Applefest, Family Adventure Weekend, and Harvest Festival; and later in the season, Thanksgiving Family Fun Fall Harvest package.
