End of the season trips can be some of the most exciting and colorful trips of the season. For those looking to explore ecosystems, experience beauty from mountain sides, tranquil waters, and nature at its finest think about experiencing some of the best backpacking trips in North America. Fall is a great time for backpacking as leaves are turning, and those on such trips get to experience the absolute best Fall has to offer.

One of the best places for backpacking is the Appalachian Trails. Its a favorite and offers one of the longest trails in the United States, as it spans 14 states. It starts in Georgia and end in Maine. Some suggested trails are in New Hampshire, where the highest peak is, and in the Maine, where the wilderness never crosses a road.

America's west also holds some of the most tranquil and interesting mountain scenes known to the western world. For those that have never traveled west the Continental Divide in Colorado must be experienced to be believed. It's trails reach to 8,000 feet and Gray's Peak is truly a natural wonder place. Glacier National Park is also nature's finest.

If rustic, battling the elements, and testing skills sounds like a thrill then Uinta High-Line Trail might be on the agenda. It is one of Utah's most famous trails. But it also not for the faint of heart. This rough trail and testing the elements experience means survival skills are put to the test when shots of lightning begin above the tree line on this mountain. They are a common and there is little to no place to take shelter.

And for those that are wondering what else the mountain has to offer consider the 75 miles of exquisitely beautiful waters that on the trails. It's views are breathtaking, and the peak at Utah's King's peak is also a great place to view the highest peaks.

Montana known for its beauty and rich and luscious outdoor scenes, fishing and pure escape from city scenes offers the northern Rocky Mountains. It also offers Yellowstone River, scenery worth a long drive to get there, and a type of relaxation and serenity few of viewed. It is a more moderate trail, but beautiful and breath taking.

Virginia holds another exquisitely beautiful place, with Shenandoah Valley. It is a perfect mix between the great outdoors, relaxation, beauty, and rustic living. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains its stunning display of nature's wonder will live visitors hoping for more. Bring a camera and enjoy this place that feels next to paradise itself.

Last but not least is the Grand Cannon. The natural beauty of this place is next to none. It is one of the wonders of the world and once travelers have experienced the scenic display here, there is no more wondering why. It is one of the best backpacking trips available, but it also calls for planning ahead. Travelers will need a permit to wonder on the trails, and that means a four month wait for approval. It is well worth the wait, however, and travelers will find the experience of a lifetime, and one they will never forget, so plan ahead and discover the Grand Cannon.
