The top trending destinations for 2025 autumnal trips, mapped  

Nature surrounding Kanab, Utah

More about the three top trending U.S. destinations for fall  

1. Oro Valley, Arizona

Just north of Tucson, Oro Valley is drawing fall travelers with desert hikes that trade scorching heat for crisp, dry air. Catalina State Park, set against the Santa Catalina Mountains, bursts with golden cottonwoods and quiet canyon trails in October.

2. Evergreen, Colorado

Perched at 7,200 feet and just a short drive from Denver, Evergreen is building a name as a fall escape. Paddleboarding on Evergreen Lake during early autumn, elk-watching in Evergreen Park, and scenic drives to nearby Mount Blue Sky make it a smart seasonal detour.

3. Kanab, Utah

Kanab is stepping into the spotlight as a fall basecamp for the Southwest. Cooler temperatures and clear skies make it an ideal season for tackling Buckskin Gulch, wandering Coral Pink Sand Dunes, or heading out on day trips to Zion and Bryce Canyon.

More about the three top trending international destinations for fall  

1. Crete, Greece

Crete in autumn trades summer crowds for quieter beaches, sun-warmed hiking trails, and harvest season in the hills. On this island, olive groves, gorges, and coastal drives stay accessible well into November, especially around the White Mountains and south coast.

2. Funchal, Portugal

On the island of Madeira’s south coast, Funchal keeps its grip on warm days well into late autumn. Lush levada walks, terraced hillsides, and markets make it a laid-back base for exploring the island’s volcanic terrain without midsummer heat.

3. Ko Chang, Thailand

By November, Ko Chang—Thailand's second largest island—is easing into dry season, with clearer skies and calmer seas. Arrive later during fall to explore jungle hikes and forest walks, waterfalls, coral reefs, and beaches just before the high season truly kicks in.
