Though here in Denver it is currently near freezing, there are a few places to travel this fall for beautiful greenery and easy access for those with oxygen.

By the end of October most of the state has changed colors, so it is important to get out and go travel before the weather gets too cold.

November 12th is estimated for most of the country to change colors according to Travel and Leisure.

For the states surrounding the Great Lakes and border Canada (Maine, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, and Minnesota) the season begins to noticeably change before most of the country.

The Rocky Mountains also change early on in the season (Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Idaho, and Montana), as early as October 15th.

Nearly every state will have amazing views throughout the next month, so it is up to you to pick which state you want to visit.

Even if you do not want to go hike there are other ways to explore each state by seeing the colors another way or just visiting local festivals.

If you are driving or flying, make sure your O2 comes with a car charger or if you are flying make sure you have enough battery life to last the flight time and a half (a 2 hour flight will need 3 hours of battery).

Make sure you have all important documents and medical records for your O2 and yourself.

Alabama:

There are a few state parks to go see in Alabama to see the colors, such as Oak Mountain State Park, Bankhead National Forest, Joe Wheeler State Park, and Lake Guntersville State Park.

Rent a cabin in DeSoto State Park or Cheaha State Park and curl up inside while you watch the leaves change outside.

Alaska:

Though Alaska is cold in the winter, many people prefer to visit in the summer, but not many people go in the fall.

Fall is the best time to visit Alaska, as the leaves begin to change, and the temperature is just right.

Anchorage is a great place to visit in the fall, as there is a nice nightlife, beautiful trails, places to camp, train rides and the northern lights (Salmon Berry Tours).

Fairbanks is a great place to visit in the fall as well, viewing the UA Museum of the North and the Antique Auto Museum, visit with Reindeer (Running Reindeer Ranch), and ride a train back to Anchorage.
