Autumn is officially here, meaning pumpkin patch trips, getting ready for Halloween and Thanksgiving, and taking in the natural beauty that comes with changing seasons.

Of course, that also means throwing on a sweater and heading out to find the colorful leaves! There are many spots throughout the U.S. where you can see the changing leaves, and Thrillist found the ideal places to get that fall feeling.

Washington state has many places where you can find fall foliage, but there's one place that stood out to writers: Chuckanut Drive!

Here's what the website had to say about the road:

"Located just north of Seattle—in a state absolutely bursting with enough colors to make you rethink the notion of “evergreen”—the wildly twisting roads of State Route 11 pack the beauty in tightly. Each twist reveals new ways to frame the vivid oranges and yellows that pop against the dense green of the pines. Head into Larrabee State Park for some great views, but don’t skip on a pit stop at Taylor Shellfish Farms for fresh crab before resuming your drive past farmland, water, and mountains through what feels like a kaleidoscopic tunnel of trees."
