There should be a waterfall at the end of every hike. Here are some waterfalls you need in your life.

Vernal Fall, Yosemite, California

This 317-foot fall is on the Merced River and runs all the year, though it is the weakest at the end of summer and most splendid during spring. You’ll likely get wet from the waterfall mist. So you may as well wear some waterproof clothing.

Ruby Falls, Chattanooga, Tennessee

America’s deepest cave and largest underground waterfalls, Ruby Falls, hidden underground within a cave, are a popular tourist attraction in Tennessee. For the brave, Ruby Falls offers lantern tours on Friday nights, where tourists are led to the falls by a lantern-lit path.

Sliding Rock, Pisgah Forest, North Carolina

Sliding Rock is one of the most interesting waterfalls in the world. The family-friendly landmark offers an interactive adventure. If you’re traveling with children, your safest bet is to visit during summer weekends, when there is often a lifeguard on duty. The gentle incline (坡) makes this a fun and safe activity for the little ones.

Alamere Falls, Bolinas, California

Located along the Point Reyes National Seashore within Marin County, Alamere Falls is a tidefall — meaning it runs directly into the ocean. You can enjoy the falls all four seasons, but it is the best after winter and spring rainfall. After parking your car, you’ll hike along the Crest Trail to Wildcat Camp, where many visitors choose to stay overnight. If you’re visiting during warm months, take a dip in the nearby Bass Lake.

Like clockwork, warm weather slips away and autumn begins its descent on the Northern Hemisphere, bringing with it rich colors that transform forests, woodlands and parks.

Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew houses one of the most diverse collections of living plants of any botanic garden on the planet, including around 14,000 trees. Every autumn, its 500 acres of woodland deliver an extraordinary spectacle of brilliant red and yellow as leaves of oak, chestnut, maple and hickory trees begin to change. Visit before 30 November to join a guide d trees tour and learn how different species are coping with the changing seasons and adapting to climate change.

Brechfa Forest, Abergorlech

Brechfa Forest covers some 16,000 acres in Carmarthenshire, Wales, making it easy for walkers to immerse themselves in woodlands transformed by autumn’s finest colours. It become a blend of red and purple in November. After your walk, drive to Carmarthen, one of the oldest towns in Wales, for lunch and a visit to the castle. Some say that the castle was named after King Arthur’s wizard, Merlin, as its Welsh name — Caerfyrddin —means ‘Merlin’s fort’

Batsford Arboretum, Cotswolds

More than 1,300 different trees, shrubs (灌木) and bamboos are showcased at Batsford Arboretum, near the picture-perfect town of Moreton-in-Marsh. This private botanical garden covers 60 acres, providing outstanding colours between late October and November. Highlights include trees ranging from red to purple. Prebooking tickets during autumn is recommended to avoid the crowds.

Catbells, Cumbria

The Lake District is dotted with many viewpoints, but the sights from the Catbells walking route are a particular standout come autumn. Once you’ve walked back down, take a leisurely ferry ride to the quaint market town of Keswick, seeing epic views of autumnal hills reflected in the water on the way.
