TripAdvisor’s top ten fall destinations are:
1.Munich, Germany
2. Napa Valley, Calif.
3. Montreal, Quebec
4. Asheville, N.C.
5. Woodstock, Vt.
6. Vancouver, Canada
7. Lake Placid, N.Y.
8. Camden, Maine
9. Mystic, Conn.
10. Aberdeen, Scotland
It seems like a funny list to me. The Fall color of USA is well represented at Woodstock, Lake Placid, and Camden and a trip to the Northeast USA in fall is impossible to beat for spectacular foliage IF your timing is lucky. Mystic and Napa are charming and Montreal and Vancouver are very cool places. Haven’t been to Asheville but I’m sure it’s nice. Munich an obvious choice for Octoberfest. Not sure about Aberdeen.
But as long as they’ve decided to include the entire world it seems like a reasonable person is going to pick London, Paris, Rome, Prague, a city in China or Japan, etc, etc over, say Asheville or Mystic or Lake Placid.
I think these silly lists tell you more about the person composing them than travel.

I’m guessing these are the Top 10 nodes on TripAdvisor that they want people to visit. Ranking destination based on a broad category like “Fall” is just silly, but I suppose there are places that excell during that particular seasons.
The Adirondacks in Fall is my personal favorite time. Less people, comfy weather, no bugs, leaves are changing, and apples are falling. Call me unreasonable, but I think Lake Placid beats Paris. Mystic is overrated.
Ha – a cynical but good guess.
I grew up in the Adirondacks and I miss the fall. One of my very fondest memories is visiting the maple syrup “sugar shacks” in the woods where wrinkled old farmers would boil down the Maple sap into syrup after collecting it from buckets hanging on the trees.
Little hollow spikes on which the buckets hung would drip sap one drop at a time and it would take about a hundred gallons of sap to make one of syrup.
The sugar shacks do indeed rule! We were up in southern VT last weekend and I was singing their praises.
Sugaring season is in the spring, though…
Wow, I’m confusing spring and fall in my treasured cache of old memories – interesting since they really blend together. Hey, how about that $100 million in gold bars out at Fort Blunder – did we spend that already?
