We've done the Canadian Rockies in September, twice. Stunning. Fly into Calgary, rent a car, and enjoy!
And Colorado in late September and early October is also wonderful.
Then there is Utah, cool and rugged, with slanty autumn sun on red rocks.
Also the North Cascades of Washington, including the Mt. Baker area. The huckleberries are ripe, the air is clear, and you can see forever.
Then there is the Eastern Sierra, chilly and crisp, with miles of wonderful trails at high altitude. Maybe throw in Great Basin National Park in Nevada -- astonishing stars in the autumn months.
We have done all of these trips in the fall, many of them more than once. The bugs are dead, the tourists are gone, the weather is dry and clear and cool. Heaven.
Good luck choosing amongst all of these great options!!
