The Mountain States (also known as the Mountain West or the Interior West) form one of the nine geographic divisions of the United States that are officially recognised by the United States Census Bureau. It is a sub-region of the Western United States. The Mountain States generally are considered to consist of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.

It’s that time of year when the temperature starts to drop, the leaves change colour, and change is in the air. During the fall, each state in the U.S. will experience its own special view of the season. Changing ash, hickory, maple, and oak trees make for postcard-like views in almost every state. It is ideal to relish in a lovely picnic under the vivid autumn maples or a crisp morning stroll surrounded by golden aspens of the Mountain West.

Want to have more insights into gorgeous fall scenery in the U.S.? Let’s take a look at below stunning photo taken by our freelance lensman Nguyen Hai during his trip to this country.

Beautiful Snake River with stunning reflections of Mount Moran and a golden autumn forest in the glimmering rays of sunlight shining the ground at the Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming State.

Small streams with overhanging pebbles look like transparent mirrors lying by an autumn forest in the Grand Teton National Park

The sound of the murmuring water drifting down alongside yellow poplar forests makes the scenery of the Grand Teton National Park so beautiful.

The deciduous poplar trees in Colorado swaying when the wind came, looking like Russian birch trees.

Aspen City in Colorado is a beautiful spot to admire the autumn scenery.

On the way back to Utah, you just see a vast of golden forests and a few residential houses.
