With a warm drink in hand, wrapped up inside your vehicle, and accompanied by the perfect soundtrack, driving these roads in the fall feels like being in a movie.

The best fall road trips in the U.S.
1. Blue Ridge Parkway – Virginia and North Carolina
Known as “America’s Favorite Drive,“ the Blue Ridge Parkway lives up to its name. This scenic highway stretches nearly 470 miles, winding through North Carolina and Virginia. During October and November, it showcases the most vibrant fall foliage, along with must-see spots like the Whitewater Falls in Jackson County and a wide variety of national parks.
2. Columbia River Gorge – Oregon
Located in the Pacific Northwest, this road is one of the most breathtaking to drive in the fall. It runs along a dramatic gorge marking the border between Oregon and Washington, with the majestic Columbia River serving as a natural backdrop. In this season, a mix of fog, low-hanging clouds, and vivid fall colors creates a uniquely immersive atmosphere. It’s a drive that beautifully captures the warmth and nostalgia of autumn in the Pacific Northwest.
3. Scenic Route 90 – Kentucky
Although one of the shortest drives on the list, Scenic Route 90 in Kentucky doesn’t disappoint in the fall. This route offers sweeping views of the Cumberland River on both sides, crossing spectacular bridges and expansive meadows painted in autumn tones. While the entire journey can be completed in just about an hour, its beauty leaves a lasting impression.
4. Upper Peninsula Scenic Route – Michigan
The Upper Peninsula Scenic Route, also known as the Lake Superior Circle Tour, offers some of the most striking views during the fall season. Travelers along this route are treated to stunning views of Lake Superior, surrounded by countless trees dressed in rich red, golden, and orange hues. This route also includes Tahquamenon Falls State Park, home to the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River.
5. Tail of the Dragon Highway – Tennessee
The Tail of the Dragon Highway in Tennessee is one of the most thrilling drives to take in the fall. Though a relatively short route, it winds dramatically through the Tennessee mountains, offering hairpin turns and breathtaking scenery all around.
6. Route 100 – Vermont
Route 100 is considered Vermont’s most scenic highway, especially during the fall, when it truly shines. It runs nearly the entire length of the state, weaving through rolling hills, covered bridges, and quintessential New England towns bursting with seasonal color.
7. Adirondack Mountains – New York
This road trip through the Adirondack Mountains runs from Albany through Lake Placid, Ticonderoga, and Lake George, offering spectacular views along the way. While the scenery is beautiful year-round, fall foliage brings it to life in a special way, with crystal-clear waters, dense forests, and mountain vistas, all packed into a drive of about five and a half hours.
8. Ozark Highlands Scenic Byway – Arkansas
One of the most underrated fall drives, the Ozark Highlands Scenic Byway offers a glimpse into the South’s natural beauty. With abundant trees like oaks, hickories, and maples, it winds through rivers and rolling hills, framed by picturesque mountain towns along the way.
