Autumn foliage drives offer scenic travel in Kansas and New Jersey

Autumn foliage is drawing travelers to scenic road trips across various regions of the United States.

In Kansas, small breakfast cafes offer opportunities to enjoy the changing leaves, particularly in river towns like Atchison. Near the Missouri River, the wooded hills provide vibrant colors by mid-October, making local spots like The Sunflower popular for visitors looking to pair breakfast with autumn scenery.

In New Jersey, scenic routes such as the Delaware River Scenic Byway and Old Mine Road provide views of colorful hillsides and river towns. Travelers can visit Allaire State Park, the Delaware Water Gap, or High Point State Park, which is the highest elevation in the state, to experience peak fall colors.
