Something to Cross Off Your List<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you go on an autumn road trip, you can officially cross certain destinations off your bucket list. Since the leaves will be changing colors, you&#8217;ll get to experience small towns and large cities in a unique way. Whether you want to tackle a cross-country road trip or stay within your state, you can take this opportunity to do something you may have only dreamed of \u2014 take a trip without one set destination with your loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See<\/strong>: Plan an autumn road trip to these small <a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/north-america\/american-towns-that-feel-like-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American towns that feel like Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Youll_Bond_With_Others\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>2.

A road trip could be just the activity to bring a family back together. With kids having just started school, they might have plenty to talk about during the driving portions of your road trip. Even if the people on your journey are all adults, you can find something to discuss in your busy lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spending time with people <a href=\"https:\/\/newsinhealth.nih.gov\/2018\/04\/building-social-bonds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">helps foster a bond<\/a> and makes others realize they can rely on you as much as you lean on them. Creating good memories and holding deep conversations with people is how to improve bonds, relationships and friendships. When you&#8217;re out of the car, you&#8217;ll have plenty of opportunities to get to know your loved ones better as you explore new areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Memorable_Photoshoots\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>3.

Whether you want them for lasting memories in an album or the latest image on your social media feed, your whole crew can benefit from the boost of confidence that a fall photoshoot brings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since autumn results in so many bold colors and fun backdrops, you&#8217;ll find endless options for autumn photoshoots in one of the destinations you reach. Try to take a group photo every time you get to a new destination. The pictures will be something you can treasure after the trip \u2014 a memory that will keep you going until the next time you can go on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember <a href=\"https:\/\/revivalist.com\/selfie-generation-has-the-travelling-purpose-changed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to be present and mindful<\/a> during your trip, though. Prioritze enjoying the sites with your eyes before you look at them through your phone screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" data-attachment-id=\"37915\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/road-trips\/10-reasons-to-plan-an-autumn-road-trip\/attachment\/10-reasons-to-plan-an-autumn-road-trip-2\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Reasons-to-Plan-an-Autumn-Road-Trip.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,850\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Reasons-to-Plan-an-Autumn-Road-Trip-1024x680.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Reasons-to-Plan-an-Autumn-Road-Trip-1024x680.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Reasons-to-Plan-an-Autumn-Road-Trip-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"10 Reasons to Plan a Fall Road Trip | OutsideSuburbia.com\" class=\"wp-image-37915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Reasons-to-Plan-an-Autumn-Road-Trip-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Reasons-to-Plan-an-Autumn-Road-Trip-640x425.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Reasons-to-Plan-an-Autumn-Road-Trip-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Reasons-to-Plan-an-Autumn-Road-Trip-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Reasons-to-Plan-an-Autumn-Road-Trip.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Youll_Feast_Your_Eyes\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>4. You&#8217;ll Feast Your Eyes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best reasons to take a road trip in the fall rather than the spring or summer is there are so many beautiful colors you can only see for a couple of months each year. Throughout the year, most of the world is green, but you&#8217;ll see an explosion of reds and golds and oranges during autumn in most places. It&#8217;s something different from what you usually see in an area you typically don&#8217;t visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, spring isn&#8217;t the only time that flowers are in bloom. Rich, bold colors typically mark autumn flowers. The variety of flowers you&#8217;ll see depends on the regions you travel to, as some flowers may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.odealarose.com\/blog\/what-flowers-are-in-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">still be enjoying warmer weather<\/a> and others might be thriving in colder temperatures. Downtown areas may have started landscaping for fall, including planting florals that complement the season. The places you&#8217;ll pass through will be gorgeous and worth every effort to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Youll_See_New_Places\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>5. You&#8217;ll See New Places<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The point of a road trip is to travel to places you&#8217;ve never gone to before. When planning your road trip, make sure to visit towns you&#8217;ve heard great things about and have wanted to travel to but have never been able. The aim of going to new areas is to find something that makes it memorable and may make you want to revisit with your loved ones again. Going to locations you\u2019ve never been broadens your horizons and keeps you wanting to travel and see more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"11894\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/discover-dallas\/fall-colors-in-dallas-fort-worth\/attachment\/fallcolors_fwbg_17\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Fallcolors_fwbg_17.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1365\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Fallcolors_fwbg_17-1024x683.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Fallcolors_fwbg_17-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Fallcolors_fwbg_17-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Fall colors in Dallas Fort Worth\" class=\"wp-image-11894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Fallcolors_fwbg_17-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Fallcolors_fwbg_17-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Fallcolors_fwbg_17-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Fallcolors_fwbg_17.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Itll_Improve_Your_Health\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>6. It&#8217;ll Improve Your Health<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traveling and road tripping with loved ones can actually get your health better. When you are away from the hustle and bustle of your daily life, you may find your stress melting away. Many people take vacations to relax and unwind, so it might come as a surprise to learn even hectic road trips can decrease your stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacations can positively impact your mental health, but they can also be great for your physical health. Simply going on vacation <a href=\"https:\/\/news.syr.edu\/blog\/2021\/07\/27\/vacations-and-vacation-behaviors-can-improve-your-heart-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">could lower your risk<\/a> of cardiovascular disease. You&#8217;re doing nothing but benefitting yourself by taking some time away from work or your home just to get out and go somewhere new with the people you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Accommodations_May_Be_Cheaper\"><\/span><strong>7. Accommodations May Be Cheaper<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By traveling in the fall, you may find some destinations are cheaper. Many people go on big summer vacations, especially since children have freer schedules. Specific places like<a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/category\/north-america\/united-states\/parks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> National Parks<\/a> have potentially seen the boom of tourists fizzle out. You might also notice lodging options are cheaper in some areas as they attempt to get people to fill those rooms. Not every place will be less expensive than in summertime, but if you&#8217;re on a budget, you can look into areas where tourism is low in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Youll_Have_Freedom\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>8. You&#8217;ll Have Freedom<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main draws of road trips is you have to be okay with having a flexible schedule. These travels force you into a place where you can&#8217;t make solid plans because you don&#8217;t know what traffic or traffic patterns will look like. The forced flexibility can also give you a sense of freedom. Above all, you&#8217;re traveling and you&#8217;re in the moment \u2014 everything else can happen afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"33661\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/blog\/starting-the-day-with-yoga\/attachment\/apple-cider\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"apple-cider\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider-1024x1024.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider-1024x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Apple Cider Vinegar Gummy\" class=\"wp-image-33661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider-40x40.jpg 40w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/apple-cider-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Apple_Picking_Cider_Pressing_Fall_Festivals_The_Possibilities_Will_Excite_You\"><\/span><strong>9.

Some towns might conveniently have a fall festival when you&#8217;ll be passing through. Plan ahead and you can stop at an orchard for apple picking, cider pressing, or wander through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vermontcornmaze.com\/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">biggest corn maze in New England<\/a>. If your fall road trip takes you to Vermont don&#8217;t miss the apple cider donuts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every road trip is different, so there are new possibilities and combinations every time you plan for one.
