Chasing Fall Color & Hot Springs: Colorful Getaways - Appalachian Trails to a Volcano in Costa Rica

What if the best reset this fall is simply a change of scenery? Bonita and "The Adventures of Pipeman" Dean K. Piper, CST aka "The Pipeman" explore some of the most beautiful — and surprisingly affordable — places to take in autumn color and recharge: the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Ozark Mountains, a few hidden hot springs in Appalachia, and even a volcano-warmed soak in Costa Rica, where the same geothermal forces that shaped the mountain also warm the pools below. Every stop on this list is proof that a meaningful getaway doesn't require a big budget — just a little planning. Give yourself permission to get away, get out there, and go for it!
