Shoulder Season
Shoulder Season
Shoulder Season is defined as a travel period between peak and off-peak season. Fall shoulder season is September, October and November, between summer and holiday or festive season. Here are some travel ideas for shoulder season.
Fall Foliage
There are many places in the USA where fall foliage is beautiful. Many areas around the USA offer beautiful, colorful leaves including New England, the Pacific Northwest, the Northeast and even some areas of the South.
National Parks
National parks have become very popular tourist attractions. During the fall, crowds dissipate, the weather is cooler, the foliage is beautiful, the wildlife is plentiful and the cost is lower.
Hawaii
Great weather, fewer crowds and lower prices make shoulder season a great time to visit the Hawaiian islands. And I have a Hawaii primer that can help you decide which island to visit.
Europe
The weather is cooler and fewer crowds make Europe a great fall destination. And with the exchange rate being so favorable, it is a perfect time to visit Europe.
British Columbia
British Columbia enjoys a mild fall before the ski season. Hiking, biking, fishing, touring and eating can all be enjoyed in BC in the fall.
