Driving the auspicious and invigorating road to North Carolina’s Mount Mitchell State Park, the highest peak in the eastern United States, will make you party to the fresh risk air, panoramic views and the changing colors of the ash and poplar trees that line either side of this 75-year-old Blue Ridge Parkway that is one of the countries great autumn drives.

The fall foliage season, when the changing palette of deciduous trees is in blazing bloom, is now starting. And the way to maximize your intake of color is to map out a driving route. In September, October, and — in some spots — even November, color seekers can visit 31 states and drive more than 3,000 miles of national scenic byways, plus thousands of other scenic roads.

Some nature lovers, like former Shenandoah National Park guide Hazel Mills, can’t wait to buckle up and get up close and personal with the purple dogwoods and deep burgundy leaves of the Virginia creepers.

“It’s like a basketful of fall chrysanthemums in every color,” she says. “Red and yellow, purple and deep burgundy. When the afternoon sun hits the hickory, it looks exactly like gold, absolutely breathtaking.”

Others, like Mike Boutin, owner of Maine-based Northwoods Outfitters, like to take country drives surrounded by mountains bursting with yellow beeches, scarlet maples, and purple witch hazel around Moosehead Lake. He also loves one of the season’s biggest local adventures — back-road moose safaris.

“It doesn’t get better than pulling over to see a huge brown male moose crash through a riot of bright red and yellow leaves,” says Boutin.

Certain areas of the country — the Northeast corridor, the Southeast, along the Appalachian Mountains, and much of the Midwest — produce the most striking and vibrant colors because of mild autumn days and cool (but not freezing) evenings. If daytime temperatures are too warm for an extended period of time, colors are less intense.

If you’re planning a fall foliage trip, choose your route based not only on the timing of nature’s fiery color display, but also around available activities. Horseback ride through the orange hickory trees in Shenandoah National Park. Or stand beneath a quivering golden aspen at Mammoth Lakes in the Eastern Sierra while peering through a dusty window in Bodie, the best-preserved ghost town in California.

Behind the wheel is still the best way to cover the most ground and take in the most beautiful colors you will ever see.

My Take: I definitely agree with this article.  The best way to see the country is behind the wheel of the car or on a good motorcycle.  If you want to take a vacation like this you would need to learn to ride motorcycle or drive a car before you could.  There is a good academy driving school NY where you can learn to drive.

If you really wear your car out and end up with a worn-out wrecked car, you can always sell it for cash.  It is a good way to get from your vacation money back or you could trade that wrecked car in for another one.  But whether your car survives or not, you will have an exciting trip that will give you memories for a lifetime.  You might even find a few things to take home to decorate your house with.

Deep in the country, you will find old-time craftsman that still make their own furniture, dishes and utensils and fixtures for their home.  Country décor is beautiful!  Just put up a little rustic lighting to accentuate it in your dining table with your handmade decorative country plates on it will look absolutely fantastic.
