ℹ️ About the Episode:
We love showing you the wonders that can be discovered by RV. That’s why this week, we have a very special video to help you build your fall foliage road trip bucket list. Surprisingly, fall is consistently voted as the favorite season for RVers. Maybe it's because things slow down a bit in top destinations, but there are lots of perks; you can dry camp easily-without needing AC-and it's the perfect time to cozy up by the campfire with your favorite warm drink and possibly some s'mores. So don’t be too sad to say goodbye to summer, because fall might just be the perfect extension to a fantastic RVing year and exactly what you needed! So grab a warm drink and a pen, and get ready to write down your favorites from this Top 10 Fall Road Trip Destinations List.

Central Pennsylvania is absolutely spectacular in the fall. Trough Creek State Park, Hyner View State Park are to die for.

[@billmccullough2323]

i live in Arkansas. We have the Ouachita and Ozark Mountains and every time I think about heading out to see someone else's Fall display, I get stuck here because it is so hard to imagine that it is any better than what we have right here at home. One year we spent 10 days 4 wheeling in Gunnison National Forest. We timed the trip hoping to catch the leaves and first snowfall. It worked! The Aspens were gorgeous and several times we had to brush snow off the picnic table so we could have lunch. One of the best vacations we have ever had. Thanks for the great ideas of other places to visit!

[@JodysJourney]

I came to the comments to mention Arkansas and the southern Missouri Ozarks. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@captfitz]

While I’ve watched many of your videos and have enjoyed them all, I’ve never left a comment before. I just wanted to say that this vid was imho, one of the best you’ve ever done. The stunning subject matter combined with your awesome cinematography and mad editing skills (and let’s not forget your awesome narrator) combine to elevate this video next level! Thank you for all of your efforts. They’re greatly appreciated! Keep up the great work!!

[@ernestsmith5615]

The Natchez Trace Parkway is another great "leaf peeping" drive from mid-October through early November, depending on how north you are on it. The Tennessee section is particularly awesome in the middle of October.

[@myk55501]

Somewhere on a warm beach with a drink in my hand is my favor fall spot. and watching other people on YT freezing there colors out of them waiting for the trees to turn.

[@leanneforrest8723]

Love this list! But you cannot finish a fall drive bucket list without coming up here to see us in Nova Scotia. ❤

[@downeysdowntheroad9495]

Just saw the Peggy’s Cove area WOW!!!

[@stephaniegaddis1716]

We just returned tonight from Shenandoah. It was spectacular!! Pro Tip: if you don't like waiting for parking spots at overlooks avoid the park Columbus Day weekend! Thankfully, Tuesday and the rest of the week had only a few people. Our drive back home to Rhode Island was incredible. PA, NY, and CT were painted yellow, orange, and red. Fall road trips are just as fun as summer trips!!

[@jamesbockenstette4332]

Trish has a great narration style. She speaks well and has a most pleasant voice. Thank you for Trish.😊

[@joethecomputerguy1]

Nice to see Trish take on the front person duties in this vid.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

These are amazingly beautiful places, but for those looking for fall or anytime of year beauty, the lakes of northern Minnesota should definitely be on your list to consider !!! KYD goes around us but just maybe someday the will sneak through here and see what they been missing 😘 Just went on a 250 mile fall drive today with my lonely neighbor who lost his wife last year and today would have been her 83rd birthday! Spent time in the nooks and crannies of leech lake then headed north, fall beauty over a big lake is amazing ! Duluth and Lake Superior is stunning 😍 Happy fall everyone! Blessings

[@jeanj6670]

Absolutely! Jay Cooke State Park or any of the other half dozen state parks up the North Shore, Sawtooth Mts by Lutsen etc etc. We did the Lake Superior Circle a few years ago in the fall. Sensory overload by the end of it!

[@JosieB2017]

For 32 years I lived in a southern state and for 32 years I said I was a Minnesotan currently working in that state. Now that I’m home again and living in northern Minnesota, fall makes me realize why I love my state!

[@j.patrickmoore9137]

While watching, I remembered that my dad used to drive the Columbia Gorge regularly as a young adult, driving a log truck on the Historic Columbia River Highway. The Gorge is almost back yard for us, it's an hour to get to Hood River on the freeway. My wife's mom remembers coming out just after World War II from Iowa to Oregon, the family couldn't believe the beauty here. We just crossed Santiam Pass this past weekend, leaves are changing slowly and some great color there as well.

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

Trish! As a New Englanda, I am totally impressed with your accent. You did very well. Great video. Thanks!

[@stephenbarr8822]

And the EMMY AWARD goes to Trish 🏆 SPECTACULAR EDITING AWARD to Everyone 🏆🏆 ❤️🤠

[@eriktyree9323]

We are east coast based and I agree whole heartedly that the Great Smoky Mountains are beautiful and a must see in autumn. We have also spent an autumn season in nearby Magee Valley and Cherokee, also stunning foliage. This year we are in northern South Carolina at Table Rock State park and hopefully we will get great colors. Love the channel stay safe and happy trails!

[@andrewuriarte7581]

Happy Sunday everyone! Sleeping Bear Dunes is absolutely beautiful during the fall. Love yall 3000!

[@badgerpa9]

Trish you should narrate some Christmas stories and some books for kids that have a hard time learning to read.

[@rhondalyn100]

What a great show tonight! As much as I loved Trish's narration, the music and the colors of the trees, I loved seeing your kids in yesteryear. I think I'll go back to watch them, again, when you first started out. Don't you miss your little ones? Thank you for a lovely trip across America this chilly autumn Tennessee evening. 🙂

[@openskies4245]

I get that too! Bringing my adult sons and GFs for Thanksgiving and need to find a spot that some might be able to sleep in a tent - roughly 4 hours south of Cincinnati.

[@samadams1019]

I agree her narration brings such a nice vibe to an already great utube channel! Keep that going!

[@janejody6521]

Just told my wife we need to hit the road - full-time. We’ve been following about 2 years. We have a side business we can do from anywhere and I’m retired. Maybe one day! Thank you for sharing your journeys.

[@alexkoeslag5699]

You guys have some of the more enjoyable travel videos on KZbin ...thank you

[@localsource3012]

We are the only country that has such a robust and truly unique National Park System. In no other country do the citizens own the national parks. They are ours. Truly amazing places and should be enjoyed by us all as often as possible. It’s so tempting to follow in your footsteps Marc and Trish to buy a rig, hit the road and see as many National Parks (and other gems along the way) as possible. Thank you

[@twowheelwoman4202]

I hesitate to tell you but you are missing out on Pennsylvania and it's State Parks. We are headed to Ricketts Glen next week. Also Hills Creek State Park and the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. Fall foliage is beautiful so I really don't have to go further than my own back yard.

[@YahushasDisciple]

LOVE seeing Multnomah Falls. I’ve been so blessed to live here my whole life. ❤😊

[@sjs1965442]

You guys deserve an award for this video. Excellent production, video, script, script delivery. The major networks can't produce anything near the quality of your productions.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Looks like a pretty fall here in south central Pennsylvania right now. 🍃🍂🍁However, our first trip to Maine, years ago, was in October. It was wonderful. Beautiful episode, those drone shots of Michigan....wow.

[@0HARE]

Wow, thanks for a great, comprehensive run-down of the Fall foliage hot spots! We just got back from two weeks RVing Big Bend N.P., and Cloudcroft/Mayhill area of New Mexico’s Sacramento Mountains. The Fall foliage there was spectacular. As always, we really appreciate your excellent video production, editing, and commentary. Keep On Truckin’

[@garyhanson4133]

That was super special. It brought back so many memories of your special places. Such stunning videography and with Tricia doing a fantastic narration just makes me want to get out and enjoy it all. I couldn't help but think what a legacy you have documented for your kids and someday grandchildren, not to mention those of us you bring along.

[@sallytedesco4534]

New York’s beautiful Adirondack mountains from Lake George through Lake Placid. You can never go wrong going up I-87 in October!

[@kathleenhaines4143]

I was just driving through Lake Placid Thursday on my way from NH to visit my son in Watertown NY. The colors are stunning!

[@joannleboeuf1739]

Oh my, I know that you were hoping that I would not like this. Well you were right, I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. It was amazingly done. What great editing. The views were incredible. Can’t wait to see your next one.

[@scotstafford2137]

West Central PA has some spectacular fall displays. The drive from Altoona to Ebensburg is one to mention. The hills looked like they were on fire, wow.

[@EM-fi2qg]

Fun Fact. Back in the late 90's, Mt. Washington recorded the lowest temperature to date at 111 degrees below zero. 😲

[@rickdv06]

Really enjoyed this video. A stop to add in Michigan's Upper Penninsula is the Porcupine Mountains State Park. The Lake of the Clouds overlook is breathtaking at peak color season.

[@markbenson1948]

Trish, that was a spectacular presention:)) John 5:24

[@wbullock]

I live ten minutes from Mt Washington hotel and see the mountain and the presidentials from my living room. I totally agree with you trish, it’s a special place for sure!

[@betsymiller2590]

😆 the exploding Charlie incident 🤣

[@MaryTaylor-om4vi]

I know it was a lot of work for this episode, but we sure did enjoy it. Dessert for the eyes! ❤️

[@asadventures_moriicoddiwomple]

Isn't it great to go back through your own adventures to pull clips for a great video? Lots of work, but well done!

[@timothymiller8294]

You are coined "Turnpike Trish" always burning down the highway!! Amazing VLOG this week. Thanks for sharing.

[@kellymorvant]

WOW! Overwhelming color. One of your best episodes ever. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@michaelpatterson9897]

Who I ask? Just who can keep up with you guys?? I've love all your content for years, but this has to be a personal favorite!

[@davidhillbrand2302]

Awesome video. Thank you for making this. As native Coloradans, we can attest to beauty of the changing Aspens in the fall around here. Grand Mesa (Highway 65) in western Colorado is also spectacular most years!

[@kathymasculino3196]

Agree. Was going add Grand Mesa but will just tag onto yours!

[@BajaBlack]

Absolutely fabulous. I nice alternative approach! Videography, editing, clips from the past and narration we're all superb. The music was excellent too. I cannot locate the last song, Dreams or Chasing Dreams. I would love to locate it so I could add it to one of my playlists.

[@lindab5842]

I know you won't understand what this synchronicity means, but my other favorite KZbin channel, The Nomadic Movement are opening a Coffee Roastery in Stowe, VT! They just picked up their new Pottery Barn Airstream to adventure/live-in when they're not in Panama! I'm going to repeat what I posted on their channel, "My Keep Your Daydream and The Nomadic Movement worlds have collided! Thanks for sharing your Adventures! ❤

[@bobpurs]

Being in Michigan it’s hard to beat fall .👍✊

[@tomkranauer929]

This was bar far the best video you have made. Outstanding work. The national park service should use it

[@helenguilford7510]

Just beautiful, so many parks to see in our country.

[@jeffmcniven8296]

Two years in a row we have chased fall colors the first week of October in the Rocky Mountains states of Wyoming and now Colorado. Drives that won’t disappoint: Cody Wyoming through Yellowstone down to Grand Teton on to Bridger-Teton National Forest. Cortez Colorado up the 145 next to the Dolores River to Telluride and the Gondola ride in the tops of the trees. Then down and over to Ridgway and Ouray. Colors were on point and even doubled back the same route on the way home to Kingman Arizona.

[@debbiec6216]

I have been there back in the 1970's and 2022 . We are on to the Northeast in Oct 2023 , Foliage !!!!

[@topotone]

Y’all guys are killin it. Best rv’rs on YT. We luvvv the trailer traveling lifestyle, too.

[@bstephens600]

This may be one of my favorite KYD videos. You guys never disappoint your viewers and I look forward to Sunday evening to watch them.

[@ricktripp6098]

just need to say thank you for what you folks are doing.. My wife and I are just starting to camp and have been enjoying watching your videos.. Keep up the wonderful work

[@pamelas794]

Marc... the editing on this one was the best yet! I don't know if you are using new software but the definition and colors were amazing! Trish...your narration was spectacular!

[@williambradford6449]

another great compilation of places to visit, you three are so fun to watch. As a former VT resident for 40 years, we truly miss the fall colors and scenic drives. next time you are there, capture Burlington looking down onto Lake Champlain with the NY Adirondacks in the back drop, as you drive westward from the top of Main St near UVM, and take in an afternoon on the walkable Church St and the Burlington harbor. Again, your video and audio are superb!

[@Hard_7_Iron]

Oregon water falls are always the best.

[@lauria5040]

Great Editing in this wonderful episode. We enjoyed it so much. We just visited Stanley Idaho and Redfish as a result of watching your episode on Idaho, The colors were incredible and the warm Indian Summer made the weather perfect. Thanks for all the idea's and work you put into your channel.

[@philoakley221]

Another wonderful Colorado fall destination is Taylor Park Reservoir. Nice Rv parks and incredible off grid camping.

[@jamesvollmer6528]

Love your videos. You must give the Minnesota North Shore a shot in the future. 4 season playground!

[@KarenHartt]

I live in Maine, just off Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. I grew up in Bar Harbor. There are some other beautiful drives to see colors in fall. Seeing the res of the blueberry barrens with peak foliage on Rt. 9 in Wesley is stunning

[@brenthunsaker7314]

Watched it twice already. A favorite one.

[@garyjones101]

If you are in the Ouray area of Colorado, continue on the highway to Silverton and then Purgatory Ski Resort. Great Fall color and rivers to photograph and hike along there. If you stop in Santa Fe, be sure to check out the Georgia O'Keefe museum to see her original art and if you want to see her home and studio where she painted, take the tour of her home in Abiquiu,NM. Both are time well spent.

[@traceeterranova7801]

Well jeeze! Now you did it! Now I have to plan a trip next October to see the beautiful fall. My favorite season.

[@michelleharriman7342]

Camden and Rockport are both beautiful during fall.

[@PatrickWagz]

Great music choices, Marc. Oh. and more clips of Caleb and Carson re-enacting scenes from "Titanic", please!!

[@lloydrobinson7081]

most of u r adventures have a lots of heights to it, so I'll just enjoy u r having from my chair at home. keep the clips coming

[@loragunning5394]

What really struck me about this episode was how much more of an impact your RV lifestyle has made on Caleb than on Tori and Carson. Tori was only with you for the first, what, 2 years? And Carson wasn't far behind her in flying from the nest, as well. But Caleb has had the most time on the road with you and has you both pretty much to himself these days. It's interesting to think about for me, an eldest child, that I had my parents all to myself for the first 2 years of my life, but I flew my own nest early, as did both of my younger sisters, so none of us really had the chance to spend alone time with our parents as we moved from childhood into adulthood. Caleb, being your youngest child, never had you both pretty much all to himself until both Tori and Carson left, and his being a young teen when he found himself the last chick in the nest has been very interesting to watch. And while I know you will all always be a close family, even after Caleb flys the nest, I am sensing that all of you are taking full advantage of these last precious times spent with your youngest child. I really enjoy this "new format", every bit of it and I hope you do more like it in the future. But I have to say, I missed watching the family dynamics play out while traveling and exploring. I think what draws us fans to your channel is that you make us feel like we are actually there with you, a part of your family and sharing your adventures. I am looking forward to next week's Cascades Nat'l Park episode, having lived in the Skagit Valley for almost 18 years it'll be interesting to see what was once "my backyard" through other eyes...

[@jimsherry7050]

You can travel the famous American roads, but when you visit, little known Door County Wisconsin in the fall you'll think you've been in "fall heaven"!

[@paulonorato8765]

We just got back from a 10 day trip through glacier national park in our new “Newmar“ which is a little over 33 feet… And had a fantastic time. Wow the hikes the lakes the views incredible. Thank you for sharing all of these national park ideas and other areas throughout our beautiful country. Continued safe travels… Stay safe and well

[@brettelizabethspore]

Love that you included Washington even though you haven’t done fall here yet. We refuse to travel in October because we love our home state in the fall so much! This year it’s a been a bit tough as we are still without rain.

[@christinelemonick9415]

Great show! Enjoyed the informative content and beautiful scenery!!!

[@Live2dayWanderland]

Fall is definitely the BEST!! love it

[@chrisbranham1608]

That was a fabulous video!! Thanks so much for taking the time to put all of those clips together. And, I loved the narration. It was really, really outstanding!

[@ritanooney865]

Never get tired of looking at these parks

[@dixiedj1930]

You guys are so lucky to see all this scenery and beautiful land. Great video

[@adriannurse1502]

You did surprise me with Taos New Mexico. I wouldn't have guessed that one in a million years.

[@cliffmolz8719]

We have lived in New York, Texas, Arizona, Washington and finally Oregon. Our favorite place to visit is Sedona, AZ and staying at the Elks Club Lodge while we walk Oak Creek.

[@jnbond]

Ha haha!! I'm like this is a new video but I'm seeing old footage.... dang I'm slow tonight!! Not the brightest bulb in the pack. 🙄This whole video is a re-cap!~ 🤣😂 Great rundown Tricia!! Loved seeing all the old footage from years past. 😍🥰

[@sallyjaynes2433]

One of my *All time fav destinations & just as comparable to the 'U.P. of Michigan' is ....... "Traverse City & **Sleeping Bear Dunes"‼️. Fall/autumn decor of leaf turning all the way thru the array of surrounding Lake Michigan, pretty poetic. Many thanks from you of the 'turnstyle' of choices of Burning Leaf 🌿 Color 🍁 changes across U.S.A. stopping points, justly deserved 🙌

[@mikecox7761]

I am going to say this is one of your top 5 productions. Loved it. Nice job 👍🏻

[@laurenshackle4494]

We are right now enjoying foliage in Hocking Hill, OH at camp grounds Hilltop Resorts There is beautiful hikes and small town charm. You’ll love it

[@SamBarge1]

We just spent Canadian Thanksgiving at Sleeping Giant Provincial Park on Lake Superior. It was the perfect way to wrap up the season.

[@travelswiththebeast3337]

We are on our fall trip. Left our home in Crested Butte CO for the Utah and Arizona desert. Started at Goosenecks SP (near Valley of the Gods) and we are now at Page (Lake Powell). Heading to Jacob's Lake and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. From there, we go to Zion, Kodachrome Basin (Bryce Canyon), Capital Reef and then Moab before we head home.

[@robertcolpitts4534]

You will love that trip. We just returned from basically the same route and weren't disappointed.

[@travelswiththebeast3337]

@@robertcolpitts4534 We have done it before but wanted some more time this trip

[@sarahill4397]

Wallowa Lake, Oregon. Especially hiking up Hurricane Creek for alpine meadows changing colors against the Oregon Alps.

[@toddramsay977]

We enjoy riding from Sugarland visitors center in Great Smoky Mtns N.P. to the East entrance, in Cherokee, NC. stopping in the middle at Newfound Gap. Also from the visitors center to Cades Cove, if you miss the colors in the higher country, it has color until the first week of Nov.

[@lockedin60]

Well I don't have to travel far. My home state NC offers one of your favorite fall destinations Blue Ridge Parkway and Ashville.

[@arturowagner4728]

Loved this episode! It was like taking a tour of Rivendell!

[@GaryNichols50]

Nice change up tonight. Great videography. Beautiful scenery (most that I have fortunately seen myself). And great narrating, Tricia. I can't imagine the number of hours just to search through all your footage, much less editing it together so well. Very well done tonight.

[@JustJasonKeto]

We just got back from our fall foliage trip to cottage country in Ontario Canada! This was my first year trying to capture it in video, so happy I did. Best time of year1

[@VT-ix5oh]

Whenever i get downed over the plight of humanity, be it political upheavals, disasters, wars, etc... along comes one of your videos that reminds us of how wonderous our world is and how amazing people can be. Thanks for the lift me up.

[@nammakudla]

what a beauty. you brought the natural beauty of our country with lots of great information on when and where to go. need to plan my RV visit with this inspiring video. Thank you

[@mamafromhawaii]

Amazing video, great job. That drone footage is stunning!

[@HamsterManiac]

I live in Washington state. Leavenworth is beautiful with the fall leaves. Unfortunately this year there have been forest fires that have shut down the main highway to get there.☹️Rainier is definitely worthwhile to get to in the fall. Great video❤

[@DL-lz6pj]

Fall color runs are so much fun.

[@user-gh8sl7iu3y]

Simply incredible! So glad to have been to so many of these places as we are getting up in years and are now seeking journeys that are less elevation and easier to tow our AIrstream but we now have more time to explore. We keep going yet our US & CA bucket list continues to grow & grow. What a wonderful lifestyle to be blessed with.

[@janemuir3546]

We have done Colorado in October as well as Tennessee. Priceless.

[@JRock-wr1xn]

Gorgeous scenery. Keep up the beautiful videos. We felt like we were there. Thanks!! Safe travels!

[@robertosgood961]

Beautiful. I always get tears in my eyes when I see the balloon fest. Had to laugh when Caleb was in the stream rock hopping and it went a little off course! My wife says it's something I'd be doing, being young.

[@rooster3628]

We love going to Big Bend National Park, in TX, for Thanksgiving. We are headed that way in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!

I love the changing of the leaves from the East to the West and North to South and every thing i between.

Wonderful video...such a beautiful country we all live in...Include Letchworth State park in upstate New York to your list of destinations...The Genesee river gorge is called "The Grand Canyon of the East" for good reason...The Fall colors explode this time of year...Thank you KYD...
