Autumn is not just a season: it’s a palette.
This Fall, blaze a trail through New England’s backroads or the high deserts of the Southwest and Southern Utah; go find the colors no one else sees.
Here are some of our favorite Fall road trip destinations, all of which you can book and reach from our camper van rental hubs.
Begin your journey in Portland, Maine, our East Coast hub, and roll straight into the golds, ambers, and scarlets of peak-season New England fall foliage. Explore Vermont’s Green Mountains, Acadia National Park’s coastal cliffs, and the winding roads of New Hampshire: all under a gorgeous canopy of color.
California’s Highway 395 is an unsung fall masterpiece. Think golden aspens lining alpine lakes, surreal volcanic formations at Mono Lake, and fiery color set against snow-dusted Sierra Nevada peaks on the iconic June Lake Loop. No crowds, no stress, only jaw-dropping landscapes and wild freedom.
And it’s easy to visit from either our San Francisco or Las Vegas camper van rental hubs.
From the multi-colored strata of Capitol Reef National Park and its colorful groves of dogwoods; through the charming towns of Boulder & Escalante, and through the Kodachrome Basin; Highways 24 to 12 from Hanksville to Bryce Canyon National Park is the American Southwest in all its wonderful contrast and color. Launch your trip from Las Vegas or Salt Lake City and explore the canyons, peaks, and painted deserts few travelers reach.
