Visiting rich Fall foliage in East Coast from Smoky mountains to New England in US, and from Algonquian to Nova Scotia in Canada, are all the best feast that won't be fogretton in the life time.
Fall color in Pacific North West is quite different though. Washington State, nicknamed "the evergreen state", is covered by rich forests dominating the large fir and pine trees that stay mostly green in all four seasons. Here, nature shows her own uniqe colors.
Especially the Olympic National Park, known as an old-growth temperate rain forests, demonstrates a shockly different beauty.

Excerpt: Born in gravelly river beds above the cascades, thousands of juvenilecoho salmon memorize river scents on their 70-mile swim to sea. For up to two years coho range hundreds of miles from Oregon to British Columbia. Ocean temperatures and salinity, angle of the sun and magnetic fields help guide them back to the Sol Duc river.
