As you know, Mike and I (and now Blake) are BIG hikers, and fall is one of the most beautiful times of year to be in the mountains! I just can’t get over all the fall foliage and the vibrant colors of the leaves; it’s truly breathtaking. We’ve been super lucky and have visited many beautiful places over the years, so I figured I would narrow it down to our top favorite places for seeing fall scenery and share the trails we love hiking on at each spot. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or are just starting out, these spots are gorgeous, and I promise the views will not disappoint. So, let’s get to it!
 

Vermont/New Hampshire

Best time to visit for peak foliage: First two weeks of October

 

My Favorite Trails

  • Mt Mansfield 
  • Pinnacle Peak
  • Sterling Pond
  • Artist Bluff

Acadia National Park

Best time to visit for peak foliage: Second or third week of October. 

My Favorite Trails

  • Beehive
  • Precipice
  • Gorham Mountain
  • Ocean Path Trail
  • The Bubbles: You can hike both the Bubbles and Jordan Pond in one hike by taking the Jordan loop at the base of the Bubbles trail down to Jordan Pond. 
  • Cadillac Mountain: You can drive your car to the top to watch the sunrise. Must have a reservation! 

Maroon Bells, Colorado
