Top 3 Things to do this Fall

Autumn has officially entered the chat—crisp air, cozy layers, and golden hour that hits just right. Whether you’re staying close to home or road-tripping with your besties, fall is the perfect season to romanticize your adventures. Here are five unforgettable ways to travel and explore this fall that are so HER.

Chase the Fall Foliage Like a Pro

There’s nothing like watching the world turn into a masterpiece of gold, crimson, and amber. Plan a weekend getaway to see peak foliage—it’s like stepping inside your favorite Pinterest board.

Where to go:
● New England (Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine) for postcard views
● The Ozarks (Arkansas) for vibrant forest trails
● Blue Ridge Parkway (North Carolina) for the ultimate scenic drive
● Aspen, Colorado for stunning golden aspens

HER Travel Tip: Download a fall foliage tracker (yes, it’s a thing!) to plan your trip during peak color weeks.

Explore a Charming Small Town

There’s something magical about small towns in autumn—the cobblestone streets, the twinkle lights, the scent of cinnamon in the air. Take a break from the bustle and find a destination that feels like a Hallmark movie.

HER Picks:
● Eureka Springs, AR — historic, romantic, and full of fall charm
● Woodstock, VT — a quintessential New England village
● Leavenworth, WA — Oktoberfest, Bavarian vibes, and cozy bakeries
● Charlottesville, VA — wine country meets cozy mountain views

HER Travel Tip: Skip the chain hotels. Book a local inn or boutique Airbnb to soak in the real magic of the town.

Do a Spooky (But Cute) Fall Adventure

Not all fall fun has to be pumpkin spice and sunshine. October is the perfect time to embrace your inner spooky queen—witch hat optional but encouraged.

HER Picks:
● Salem, MA — the ultimate witchy Halloween town
● New Orleans, LA — ghost tours + jazz nights
● Sleepy Hollow, NY — yes, it’s real and iconic
● Haunted hayrides and pumpkin patch night events across the U.S.

HER Travel Tip: Bring a cozy oversized scarf or blanket—those haunted hayrides get chilly! Travel doesn’t have to be extravagant to be meaningful. Whether you’re sipping cider in a small town, chasing sunsets on a scenic drive, or treating yourself to a solo weekend away, fall is your season to slow down and soak it all in.

Here’s to cozy adventures, unforgettable moments, and the kind of trips that fill your heart—not
just your camera roll.
