What Is #TravelTuesday?

TravelTuesday is great for everyone. If you are a traveler looking for advice, if you want to share your prior experiences and knowledge to help others, or simply love traveling and talking with like minded Tweeps! You can also easily share your favorite URLs, pictures, blog posts and more! Tuesday’s are all about travel!

Since CoPilot Live is all about travel and getting you to your destination efficiently without getting lost, it makes sense to us to participate in #TravelTuesday.  From time to time, we’ll share with you ideas, links and resources related to car travel [in case you haven't guessed...our favorite kind of travel].

Today’s #TravelTuesday post is about Fall Foliage. It’s officially fall in North America and the best time of year to admire the beauty of nature and the magnificent display of leaf colors.  We came across this great post http://www.nileguide.com/blog/2010/09/28/fall-foliage-frolicking-using-the-web-to-find-autumns-peak/ which talks about using the Internet to better plan fall foliage road trips. 

Here are some other great tools to check out:

• State tourism maps offer online tools including Fall Color in the NC Smokies:  http://www.visitncsmokies.com/fall-color
• About.com’s state by state guide to fall foliage: http://usparks.about.com/od/usstateparks/tp/Fall-Colors-By-State.htm
