Fall is an exceptional time to get on the road and travel. In addition to the cooler weather, students are back in school so many destination spots are less crowded with vacationers. To top it off, fall is spectacular in the northeast, with the trees turning a myriad of colors.
Many people take their vacations during the summer. What destinations make a good trip during the fall? The below spots are just a few of the many options available.
