The Katy Trail in Missouri is 225 miles long and runs along the Missouri River for most of the way. When the trail isn’t running along the river, it cuts through the beautiful wine country of Missouri. There are a number of cute bed and breakfasts along the way and it is the ideal spot for biking and hiking through color changing forests. The weather is always crisp and cool in the Midwest during this time of year and it is a great place to get out and do some activities in the fall weather.

Bald Head Island is a quiet island right off the shore of Wilmington, North Carolina. After summer ends, the quaint area is nearly deserted with only about 160 people in the area that call the island home. This is another island that has no cars so it offers some serene and peaceful silence. The weather is a little chilly, but the water stays warm. There is also an amazing golf course, conservatory bird walks and the iconic Old Baldy lighthouse.
