Autumn is a treat throughout the Sierra foothills but few towns are as seasonally sweet as Auburn. With a historic center and plenty of hiking trails through leaf-changing oak woodlands, this little town is primed for brisk outdoor days and cozy, firelit nights. Stay in the heart of it all at the Park Victorian (195 Park St.), an elegant B&B decked out with marble fireplaces and Victorian-era charm.

Cocoa Beach, Florida, is a prime example, where peaceful days on the sand might be punctuated by the awe of a rocket launch from nearby Kennedy Space Center.
