We're calling it: time to plan Fall

Summer gets all the credit, but September and October are some of our favorite months to travel. The crowds thin out. The temperatures drop. And suddenly everything from a long weekend in the city to a week on the road sounds like a good idea.

Don’t get us wrong, we're still enjoying all things summer – but now is the time to start planning your autumnal adventure.

The only question: where are you going, and what are you taking?

01 // VERMONT ROAD TRIP

🍂  BEST FALL COLOR: LATE SEPT–MID OCT

🎒 PACK: THE PAKT ONE DUFFEL

There might not be a more classic fall trip than a few days winding through Vermont. Think small towns, farm stands, covered bridges, and plenty of reasons to pull over when the leaves get particularly good.

The Pakt One Duffel is made for this kind of travel: easy to toss in the backseat, easy to grab what you need without unpacking everything, and just the right kind of bag to live out of as you move from stop to stop.

02 // NEW YORK LONG WEEKEND UPSTATE

🍂  BEST FALL COLOR: EARLY–MID OCT

🎒 PACK: PAKT ONE TRAVEL BACKPACK + MODE CONVERTIBLE BAG

Close enough for a long weekend, far enough to feel like you actually got away. The Catskills are at their best in fall: winding roads, small towns, cool-weather hikes, and plenty of reasons to stay an extra night.

Keep your laptop and work essentials organized within the MODE Bag while you finish up those last emails on the train, then leave the computer behind once you arrive and convert it into a lighter bag for exploring town, heading out for a hike, or grabbing dinner.

03 // SOUTHERN UTAH HIKING TRIP

🍂  BEST FALL COLOR: MID SEPT–LATE OCT

🎒 PACK: PAKT ONE TRAVEL BACKPACK + MODE CONVERTIBLE BAG

Close enough for a long weekend, far enough to feel like you actually got away. The Catskills are at their best in fall: winding roads, small towns, cool-weather hikes, and plenty of reasons to stay an extra night.

Keep your laptop and work essentials organized within the MODE Bag while you finish up those last emails on the train, then leave the computer behind once you arrive and convert it into a lighter bag for exploring town, heading out for a hike, or grabbing dinner.

04 // BOZEMAN MOUNTAIN GETAWAY

🍂  BEST FALL COLOR: LATE SEPT–MID OCT

🎒 PACK: PAKT ONE TRAVEL BACKPACK + MODE CONVERTIBLE BAG

We might be biased, but fall is a pretty great time to visit our hometown. Pack layers for chilly mornings, sunny afternoons, a trail or two, dinner downtown, and at least one drive where you'll pull over just for the view.

Pack the Stash Backpack inside your Travel Backpack, then pull it out when it’s time to hit the trail. There’s room for water, snacks, an extra layer, and the other essentials you’ll want close at hand for a day outside (bear spray).
