Alaska for adventurers
More: Two fall Alaska adventures
Alaska in fall glows with autumn leaves and the aurora borealis.
The weather is likely to be cooler and wetter than it is in summer, and some attractions are closed for the season.
But there’s still a lot to do and see here--great outdoors experiences, fascinating towns, amazing wildlife.

Pour a glass in Oregon's Willamette Valley wine country
With luxe inns and tons of tasting rooms, Willamette
is ready for prime time. You can get lost on the backcountry roads but
always find a good glass of Pinot around the bend. And now, with great
hotels and tasting rooms mustering in towns like Carlton, you can
experience the valley’s off-the-beaten-path vibe yet have the comforts
of a soft bed close by.
Go wine tasting in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley
This achingly beautiful wine country
is in full-throttle mode, with new wineries and different kinds of
grapes going in all the time―nearly 60 varietals, planted all over the
benchlands, hillsides, and valley floor. Add to this the Okanagan's
pristine lakes, orchards, and wide range of non-wine-related things for
the whole family to do (from riding the century-old Kettle Valley steam
train to biking and hiking), and you have a wine-country experience like
no other.
Cannon Beach, Oregon

A little rain never hurt an Oregon coast weekend––especially with empty beaches to walk on and lots of art to see.
After a brisk coast stroll, cozy up to your lodge fireplace, dive into a hearty dinner or breakfast, or gallery hop and get a jump on your holiday shopping.

Taste Washington's apple country

The pears have arrived. They join the apples, half of which still hang from their branches, poised for plucking.
Fruit stand after fruit stand is filled with dozens of varieties, as well as local honey, melons, and squash. It's just two hours from Seattle to the heart of Washington's harvest―the largest slice of fresh fruit in the state―yet it's a world apart.

Pacific Crest Trail
More: PCT for beginners
The Kendall Katwalk trail, near Seattle, offers big rewards for small effort.
Casual hikers who might be daunted by the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail can dip in a tentative toe on the Kendall Katwalk trail, an hour east of Seattle.
In 6 not-too-demanding miles from Snoqualmie Pass to the Katwalk, a morsel of the PCT provides many of the scenic delectables of the full Mexico-to-Canada buffet.
