Fall is right around the corner, so it’s time to start planning family travel. For the ultimate cozy season, look no further than Montage hotels in Utah, California and Montana. Here’s why:
Big Sky, Montana’s, prime leaf-peeping months are late September through early October.

See the picturesque mountain ranges and vibrant fall colors from above during the resort’s helicopter photography tours. Catch one-of-a-kind views of the Lone Peak, Spanish Peaks and Gallatin River during a hot-air balloon ride. You can even ride horseback through Big Sky’s scenic alpine trails, open meadows and forests
While Montage Deer Valley is known for its skiing, it’s just as impressive in autumn. The hotel offers a variety of fall-focused experiences including a Stretch & Sound Bath class on Saturdays on the Grand Lawn. Guests can take in the fresh mountain air, unwind with gentle stretches and relax into a meditative state with a sound bath, all while surrounded by beautiful alpine views. Then, recharge with Cryo Ultrasound Therapy, which offers a cool, powerful treatment to improve circulation, reduce inflammation and speed up recovery. Don’t forget to go fishing to catch rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout on the Provo River.
Travelers 21 and older can celebrate the season with one-of-a-kind wine experiences, access to renowned wineries, and luxurious spa and wellness offerings at Montage Healdsburg. Fun fall activities include riding through Healdsburg hidden trails and open roads on an e-bike; Throughout the ride take in the untouched nature and even stop for an off-the-map picnic; unwinding with yoga sessions in the resort’s lush Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, where the resort’s resident Yogi guides guests; and private tours and tastings at hot spots like Alexander Valley Wineries, Dry Creek Valley Wineries, Russian River Valley Wineries, Aperture Cellars and The Vineyards at Montage Healdsburg.
