If you’re making Welk Resorts your home away from home this fall, we’ve created a Fall Getaway Planner for each of our locations to make vacation planning a breeze.

San Diego

San Diego in the fall is beautiful with the warmer, sunny weather lasting into October. You’ll also want to pack layers, though, because the evenings can get chilly. The new season also brings a variety of seasonal events, including Oktoberfests, street fairs, 5ks, and more. Those looking for adventure will want to check out the leopard sharks, which migrate to La Jolla Shores from August to October.

Lake Tahoe

Autumn is a great time of year to visit Lake Tahoe. Less busy than the summer and winter, fall in North Lake Tahoe is the perfect time to get outside and explore the hiking and biking trails. The cooler temperatures spur changing of the leaves to gold, orange, and yellow, making the mountain scenery even more breathtaking. On a good year, the ski lifts will even open in November, so your fall getaway could include some time on the slopes.

Palm Springs

One of the best times of year to visit Palm Springs, the fall season offers amazing weather and seasonal activities. The cooler temperatures make it ideal for hiking and biking through the unique desert scenery; and the city hosts a variety of festivals and events. However, if you’re a golfer, research the courses you’re hoping to play because many overseed in the early fall and temporarily close.
