From clothing layers and driving essentials to wildlife gear and season-specific items, this all-seasons guide will help you pack like a Yellowstone pro!

This list is for the true-crime crowd. Heads up: We tend to choose stories that lean thriller over horror, and there are definite rules: no rest-area stories, nothing that feels too “close to home,” (we won’t listen to Park Predators on our way to Yellowstone) and once the sun sets, we’re switching to audiobooks!

Route 100 moves at a slower pace. Think winding country roads, historic villages, and roadside farm stands rather than fast-moving traffic. Add in covered bridges, general stores, waterfalls, and gorgeous fall foliage, and it’s no surprise this road trip is one of the best scenic drives in Vermont!

This 34-mile scenic drive runs through New Hampshire’s White Mountains, connecting the towns of Lincoln and Conway. Although a short drive distance-wise, it’s packed with mountain overlooks, waterfalls, and covered bridges that make it one of the most beautiful places to see fall colors in the Northeast.
