Where to See the World’s Best Fall Colors
The pumpkin spice latte’s return this past week isn’t the only sign that fall is here. The Northern Hemisphere is slowly shifting into gold and amber hues. In South Korea, bright red maples frame temples at Naejangsan National Park, while in Croatia, rust-orange and golden beeches and hornbeam trees surround the waterfalls of Plitvice Lakes National Park. Autumn colors are all too fleeting, but catching them at their peak in stunning places makes the season all the more magical.
From Japan’s volcanic peaks to Norway’s fjords, these are some of the most mesmerizing places to witness fall’s transformation around the world.
