New York State's Adirondack region becomes a spectrum of color as the fall season turns green hillsides into a kaleidoscope of vibrant reds, yellows and oranges. The official tourism website for the state includes information on campsites and cabin rentals, along with the Fall Foliage Report so you know where the best views in the area are during your travel time. Take in the scenery as you hike along the hundreds of mountain trails, or paddle on a canoe around one of the lakes and rivers in the area.
Myrtle Beach offers 60 miles of sand and surf, and over 100 places to stay (including campsites to cut down on the cost of lodging). Though September is considered the low season for this popular South Carolina getaway, temperatures remain in the 70s, giving you plenty of opportunity to enjoy the ocean. For more information on things to do, download a free Myrtle Beach vacation guide (see Resources). The Myrtle Beach website also offers coupons to help you slash your vacation budget even further.
Thanks to the cooler temperatures in Florida during September, you might not need to go on Disney World's Splash Mountain to recover from the heat, but you won't have to wait long in line if you do decide to enjoy the ride. With school back in session, the amusement park gets a break from the summer crowds, and your wallet gets a break from the steep prices. Known as the value season, the fall months allow you to enjoy the theme parks with deep discounts on admission tickets, accommodations, and package deals. See the Resources section for more information.
