7. Mont Tremblant, Quebec
Most people flock to this Quebec resort town in summer and winter, but it also makes one of the best autumn getaways on the continent. You may actually feel like you’ve left the continent here, as the French charm enhances the experience. The resort village offers a variety of autumnal activities, including golf, hiking and biking trails, horseback riding and more. “Leaf peepers” will be amazed at the rich red hues in the fall foliage.

8. Central Park, New York
Believe it or not, one of the best fall foliage spots in America is right in the heart of New York City. A few steps into Central Park, and the skyscrapers become a distant memory. Explore the bike paths and walking trails around the forests, lakes and green spaces. Find a bench near the Loeb Boathouse or Bow Bridge and revel in the vivid colors of the elm, oak and willow trees. This makes one of the most ideal autumn getaways because you get to combine the best of a city break with some spectacular natural scenery, too.
