Before the colorful leaves do the fall drop, take a day to see them. If just a patch of woods a few miles from your home or several hundred up the road to classic scenes, enjoy the annual experience. Use your camera and smartphone to shoot selfies and other moments as you and your companions pause on the memorable journey. Whether the scenes are of New York’s Central Park, the Berkshires or the Grand Canyon, it will all be worth your time.

The famed amusement park is in Buena Park, about a 20-minute drive from Los Angeles. If a vet and your travels alone or with family take you the area, consider spending a free fun day.
