“Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting, and autumn a

mosaic of them all,” —Stanley Horowitz

When fall coats the countryside in flaming bursts of color—it’s your signal to

take pause and bask in its glory.

Our writers have uncovered the best spots to appreciate all the splendors of this fleeting season. Ease into your coziest sweater, grab a pumpkin spice latte, and enjoy!

Blackberry Farm & Mountain

The bond between Blackberry Farm and Blackberry Mountain extends beyond geography; it exists in the shared mission to provide a rejuvenating experience, roots in the history of the land, nature, wellness, and an appreciation of the simpler aspects of life.

The Broadmoor

This five-star spa features restorative treatments that are tailored to each guest’s needs and desires. Before your treatment, take advantage of the steam room, dry sauna, oxygen room and relax in the Mountain View Lounge.

Monteverdi

If your idea of retreat involves solitary contemplation, countless walking trails await—and they’re particularly inviting in late October and early November, when the air is getting crisp, the hills are turning ochre, the grapevines are deepening into oranges and reds, and a golden mist is, on especially good days, hovering over everything.

Omni Mount Washington Resort

Enjoy the autumn panorama, with 800,000 surrounding acres of reds, oranges and golds blanketing the valley, from a scenic Gondola ride or zip through the trees on the Bretton Woods Canopy Tour.
