About the Autumn Colors set: Includes 10 different designs featuring photographs by nature and garden photographer Allen Rokach (1941-2021). Each photograph was taken at a different location across the United States, a perfect way to emphasize the nationwide beauty of autumn.
History the stamp represents: There are many benefits to spending time in nature. However, it can sometimes be physically challenging to reach certain places. America’s system of National Scenic Byways seeks to make it easy to enjoy our country’s natural beauty, even if physical limitations only allow you to experience it through your car window.
All but two US states have roads that are part of the National Scenic Byways System. Some of these roads even span between multiple states. Scenic byways make their way through soaring mountain ranges, along crystal-clear lakes and rushing rivers, and through historic towns and cities. You can enjoy gorgeous scenery no matter what time of year you go, but if you want an especially spectacular show, autumn is the ideal time to choose.
For the widest range of fall colors, pick a scenic byway that passes through northern half of the country. A great choice is the Great River Road, which travels all the way from Louisiana to Minnesota along the Mississippi River. Or the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is the longest road planned as a single unit in the United States. It spans from Virginia to North Carolina and includes many protected areas and scenic vistas.
