Ok, people are always raving about spectacular fall colors in New England, but I know there HAS to be some great spots in the American West. If you know of one, please share. Thanks!
 
The tundra around Denali NP is beautiful in the late summer early fall.
These photos are from Aug/Sept 2011 along the Old Denali Hwy and in the park.
Awesome area IMO.

Northern Nevada has nice pockets of color.

Just above Winnemucca, Nevada.

A drive over Hinkey Summit, north of Paradise Valley is a treat in autumn.

In California, the US395 corridor south of Reno in Mono County is superb. Especially Lundy Lake and the June Lake Loop.

The dominant colors in the Great Basin (east of the Sierra Nevada) are aspens and willows. In towns, other deciduous trees can put on a show in people's yards.
