Five Fun Ways to Enjoy the Fall Foliage
Fall is my favorite season, and one of my favorite parts of fall is the beautiful colors of the changing leaves. As the temperature begins to cool and the leaves on the trees transition into a vibrant tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows, I find myself really appreciating the magic and beauty of nature and longing to be outside taking it all in. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast like me or simply looking for fun ways to embrace the autumn season, we’ve got you covered. In this blog post, I’ll explore five delightful ways to make the most of the fall foliage, each offering a unique perspective on nature’s breathtaking transformation.
Go for a Drive
One of the simplest ways to immerse yourself in the fall foliage is by taking a scenic drive. Plan a leisurely road trip through the countryside or a nearby national park, where the changing leaves create the perfect backdrop for a great day. We recently went on a trip through the mountains of Northeast Georgia and North Carolina, and the leaves did not disappoint!
Take a Walk
We love hiking in my family, but you don’t have to be an experienced hiker to take a walk and enjoy the fall foliage. Choose a local park, forest, or nature reserve, and just take your time walking and enjoying your surroundings. But, if you want to get into hiking, fall is the perfect time!

Have Family Photos Made
Fall is the perfect time for family photos! Schedule a family photoshoot in a picturesque location that features the fall colors, and let a professional photographer work their magic. Whether it’s candid moments among the leaves, playful shots in a pumpkin patch, or a cozy gathering around a campfire, you’ll never be sorry you took the time to capture those moments.
Eat Dinner with a View
One of my favorite things we have done recently is bring my parents to an open air restaurant to enjoy the fall views while we enjoyed a wonderful meal together. There are many types of restaurants and eateries perfect for foodies who also love fall foliage. Look for local restaurants, wineries, or cafes that offer outdoor seating or large windows overlooking scenic autumn landscapes.
Make Memories with Those You Love
Whether it’s a romantic getaway to a cozy mountain cabin, a delicious meal with friends, a scenic drive with your family, or an invigorating walk through nature with your kids, make sure to share the beauty of fall with the people you love most. My mom is my best friend, and she loves fall, so I especially love spending time with her this time of year. She gets such joy out of seeing the leaves turn, and it’s so much fun to enjoy that right along with her.
Whatever you decide to do this fall, my wish for you is to find joy in the beauty and splendor of the foliage, and most especially to find it with those you love most. And if you want more great ideas to get the most out of the fall season, check out some of our other recent posts for fall:
