September 18, 20196 yr Love American adventures like this Ive done a lot of California and would highly recommend it Love LA, particularly Santa Monica Think Matt did Route 66, Bia Vegas I like the sound of both the Atlanta to LA and Zephyr train into SF, both on ‘the list’
September 18, 20196 yr Anyone done much of the mountainous/forested states. Always fancied seeing "the fall" and it's colours. It's a good sight up the lake District, but the US would be something else.
September 18, 20196 yr Did New England last week of October a few years ago. It was bloody gorgeous in the forests but any different to a UK autumn? Not really.

It's a good sight up the lake District, but the US would be something else. Travelled extensively throughout Wisconsin. Greener than Ireland. If you like the Lakes, the Wisconsin Dells in autumn are absolutely fantastic. Recommend a tour on one of these:- http://www.wisconsinducktours.com/ Grown to love that state. The capital Madison is a great place to visit and Green Bay is a must - especially the Don Hutson Center and Museum.

I think it's the scale of the place. And some of these forests are genuinely ancient, not so easy to encounter that here any more. That said, even in America, human influence is changing things.

That said, even in America, human influence is changing things. While in the Massachusetts area we visited a ski shop overlooking almost all of the state towards downtown Boston. You're right, the scale of things were impressive. My point about things being no different was that deciduous trees turn from green through reds golds and browns there just as they do here.
