Here Are Some of the Best Places to See Beautiful Fall Foliage in Washington State

Walla Walla Vineyards

Fall is one of the best times of the year to experience the incredible Walla Walla wine country to the fullest. This area has over 140 vineyards and wineries, each with their own unique features to offer the local community. During the autumn season, many of these wineries participate in the annual Fall Release Weekend, which is a tasting event that celebrates the release of the many new fall wines. These vineyards also host additional events during this time, such as live music, themed dinners, and much more. Come on out, taste new wines, and admire the gorgeous vineyards in all their autumn glory! This is some of the finest scenery you’ll see in the state of Washington.

The Columbia River Gorge

One of the most breathtaking attractions of the Northwest, the Columbia River Gorge has always offered spectacular views during the autumn season! Hike along the many trails in this area between Washington and Oregon to see magnificent waterfalls surrounded by countless shades of red, orange, and gold. There are also many overlook points that provide astounding views of both Washington and Oregon. Sadly, this year the area has been ravaged by wildfires and much of the natural beauty has been destroyed. However, we look forward to beautiful new growth in the years to come that will replace what was lost.

Whitman Mission National Historic Site

This historic site is one of the best places to take a peek into the past of the state of Washington- it’s also one of the best places to enjoy beautiful fall foliage in Washington state! Once the site of the Whitman Mission, an establishment to help native Indians and immigrants, the Whitman Mission National Historic Site is now an area that you can now explore to learn more about this state’s past and admire the stunning scenery. There are many different types of trees here, including maples, sycamores, cottonwoods, and sumac that explode into rich, vibrant color during the fall season. Bring along your camera- there are countless sights to see!
