Away...

I've been so busy traveling the world that I haven't had time to post! I wish that was the real reason I've been neglecting the blog. Instead, the truth is life tends to get in the way of things, but enough with the excuses, I never went anywhere, and I'm back to blogging.

Summer has ended and it's the first full day of Fall.  The crisp air and changing colors of the leaves makes me want to bundle up in warm clothes, put on a cute wool hat and Wellie boots to tromp through a pumpkin patch.  That, and take advantage of the beautiful changing Fall foliage.

Here's a sampling of listings from the book where you might see the beautiful Autumn leaves:

• Yosemite National Park, CA
• Rocky Mountain National Park, CO
• Acadia National Park, ME
• Glacier National Park, MT
• Great Smoky Mountains, NC
• Mount Washington, NH
• The Adirondacks, NY
• The Catskills, NY
• Shenandoah Valley, VA
• Northeast Kingdom, VT
• Shelburne Farms, VT
• Canoe Bay, WI
• Grand Teton National Park, WY

My favorite place not listed in the book: Snow Lake, Alpine Lakes Wilderness, Washington. It's a great spot in the northwest for a glimpse of the changing leaves. It's the perfect hike before the winter snowfall, provides small treats along the way of wild blueberries, and nothing beats a great Northwest hike on a crisp, clear day.
Where's your favorite place?
