Fall is a perfect time for a road trip! Although you may have never owned a convertible, you have probably imagined yourself cruising on narrow streets along the hills in fall with your sunglasses on and your hair dancing in the fresh wind. If you never imagined it, you’re probably doing it now. There’s no doubt that a fall road trip promises a good time, offering you pops of color and comfort. If you’re planning a road trip this fall, here are five ways to make the most of your trip.
Try cooking on the road
Did you know you can cook while on the road? It’s best to make your own meals on a road trip if you want to make the best out of your experience. And thanks to easier cooking techniques, you can make various tasty dishes on the road. For example, you can carry a crock pot along and try a delicious crock pot roast instead of eating out in restaurants.
Add hiking, hayrides, pumpkin picking, and more to your itinerary.
Fall is a wonderful period to hit the road and get closer to nature. There are troves of outdoor recreational activities you can add to your itinerary that won’t cost you much. Whether you’re going alone or planning a family road trip, you can include apple picking, pumpkin picking, hiking, hayrides, and so much more in your list of activities. However, you must drive to the right locations, which is why the next point is super important.
Visit the countryside
The bustling modern city isn’t the right place to experience fall at its best. Although you may have a local park you can visit, you may need more to make the most of the season. Instead, why not hit up the backroads and drive to the countryside? The classic orange and golden leaves, blue skies, and glistening sun rays typical of fall are best experienced in the countryside. Plus, where else can you pick apples and pumpkins?
Keep your car cozy
You’ll probably spend many hours in your car during your road trip. Therefore, it’s best to make it as comfortable as possible to make the most of your experience. Temperatures can drop considerably, especially in the evenings. So, if you’re planning on driving through the night, you must load up on some pillows, blankets, wool socks, and anything else that will keep you warm in your car. You can also add a thermos to keep your chocolate and tea warm.
Compare the prices of farms and orchards ahead of time
If you’ve added pumpkin and apple picking to your itinerary, you need to find the best farms and orchards to visit on your trip. Also, find out the cost of visiting these farms and compare the prices. This way, you can prepare your budget before you set off. Some farms or orchards may eat deeper into your wallet than others, so find out which ones you can afford before you leave.
