This trip takes bicyclists along Nova Scotia's south shore, starting on the Aspotogan Peninsula. You'll stop at Mahone Bay, with its steeples and colorful houses, and Lunenberg, a British colonial settlement and fishing/shipbuilding hub that's now a UNESCO heritage site. You're often riding between the water and the woods, with great views of the ocean and colorful trees. Each day you visit a lighthouse, ending up at country inns every night.
Cost: $1,795 double occupancy, six days.
Climbing in the Gila Wilderness region of New Mexico
Operator: Big Wild Adventures
Autumn brings crisp, sunny weather to the thickly forested high country of the Gila Wilderness. And you'll appreciate the cool breezes, as this is a strenuous trip: while you don't scale peaks every day, you consistently maintain an altitude of 7,500 to 10,000 feet. Along the way you see massive oaks and aspens amid the towering evergreens of pine, spruce, and Douglas fir. You'll keep an eye out for elk, wild turkey, and Mexican gray wolves among the mountain streams and plunging rocky canyons, spending nights curled up in top-quality lightweight tents.
Cost: $1,800 per person ($200 discount if you bring your own gear), seven days.
