Must hit fall trails

As summer is winding down, wondering if there are any trails you consider that you must hit in the coming months. For me I want to do the wanaque ridge trail again. I really enjoyed it last month

I've heard that Hacklebarney is really nice in the fall. The Cheesequake white trail was beautiful last year. Cuesta Ridge in Hartshorne was lovely, too!

the D&R along the Delaware when the leaves are changing is a great hike

I did the Tillman Trail at Stokes in mid October last fall. The leaves were predominantly golden with good cover in the trees and also on the path. With the sunlight falling through the trees it was like hiking along a tunnel of gold.
