These islands in northern Vermont are an archipelago and a great place to enjoy the changing of the seasons. Accessible by ferry, these islands have some of the best scenic routes to cycle or drive, and are the perfect location for some outdoor camping and fishing. For lovers of wine, the state's first vineyard is located here, so enjoy a wine tasting and admire the beauty of the natural landscape.
This Californian gem is perfect for September travel and offers visitors plenty to enjoy, from glimpses of rare nature to beautiful drives and cliffs overlooking the sea - there truly is something for everyone to enjoy. For nature lovers, a highlight includes the migration of whales in the area and the famous Monarch butterfly passing through the forests. While the weather is still warm, long hikes through the natural landscapes can't be beaten.
One of the best September travel ideas is to head to the White Mountains in New Hampshire and trek along the Appalachian Trail. In fall the area is transformed and the trees are a sea of reds and golds, a glorious time of the year to enjoy the New Hampshire countryside. Take a scenic train ride on the Mount Washington Cog Railway up to one of the highest points and admire the views across the land, or paddle upstream on a canoe in Randolph.
When the heat of the summer is over, Austin is transformed into one of the coolest cosmopolitan areas to vacation in September - and without the crowds. Lovers of music can enjoy the Austin City Limits music festival and, for outdoor activities, head to Lady Bird Lake for boating and cycle tours in nature. In fall the food and drink scene is incredible, with local breweries and wineries as well as world-class restaurants and food markets.
New York is a fantastic destination year-round, but during fall it is at its most beautiful. Central Park is awash with autumn leaves and the sunshine basks everything in a golden light. There is world-class shopping in Manhattan and some of the trendiest bars and restaurants in Brooklyn.
