A train journey is an ideal way to appreciate fall foliage. Many train lines in the US wind along the same dazzling forests, lakes, and mountains as scenic byways built for cars.

When the wooden gunboat Spitfire sailed into battle as part of a flotilla engaging British naval forces on Lake Champlain in 1776, she carried an unlikely crew: ragtag American soldiers with little naval experience, under the command of a swashbuckling patriot and hero, Brigadier General Benedict Arnold. Arnold, still years away from becoming the nation’s most infamous traitor, sacrificed several vessels in what would be called the Battle of Valcour Island, after one of the islands dotting the narrow, deep lake that stretches from Québec south along the New York-Vermont border. The clash ended in defeat for Arnold, but bought valuable time for the Continental Army.

Let’s face it: it’s not easy coming up with adventure trips that will satisfy the most ambitious travelers. These are people who’ve “been there, done that” and are asking, “What’s next?” Coming up with fresh and intriguing ways to see a new part of the world or visiting a well-trodden destination — but in a different way — takes enormous creativity and planning. Here are 5 new adventures for 2024 that should appeal to the well-traveled adventurous spirits out there.

It’s a universal truth: the turning of the fall foliage is one of the world’s most enchanting natural phenomena, and in the US, it comes in many different iterations.

Summer is coming to an end and that means cozy sweaters, PSL’s, apple picking, and gorgeous fall foliage. But predicting exactly when the changing leaves will peak has always been a bit of a guessing game. 

For adventurous summer hikers, spending time outside, where you can enjoy longer days of sunshine, fresh air, and a vibrant culture within outdoor communities, is a top priority. Autumn, however, is a brilliant period to get out on the trails. Exploring during the shoulder seasons, when kids are back in school and working professionals are returning to the grind, opens up all of the popular nature-y locales so that you can revel in the peace and solitude of wide open spaces and nature.

The best thing about visiting the US can be summed up in one word: variety.

In addition to booming tourism numbers worldwide, travelers this summer have experienced scorching temperatures. That blistering heat has made travel difficult and could potentially create chronic health problems.
