This trip can be done any day of the year.

Between mid-September through to November this area gets extremely busy. Some of the stops require advance reservations in October.

If you’re traveling during October and want to go inside any of the historical buildings we recommend having one person in your group read through all four stops and pre-book the attractions you’re interested in.

We recommend making this an overnight trip, and doing all of the pre-booked attractions on one day, and your Guess Where Trip the next day.

We recommend leaving anytime between 9:00 and 9:30 am. The later you leave, the less time you may have to complete all of the stops.

Note: If you’re traveling in October, we recommend departing as early as possible to ensure you get to your second stop before 8 am (so you can find parking).

Unfortunately this trip is not pet-friendly and you'll have to leave your pup at home for the day.

We recommended bringing up to 5 people on your surprise road trip.

If you're bringing a larger group, we highly recommend having one person in charge of booking reservations at restaurants and attractions in advance. Please see the previous page for a copy of the digital itinerary.

Stops two through four can easily be walked. We recommend treating this as a walking tour if that is accessible to you and if the weather allows.

Parking: Please note that parking in downtown Salem in October can be extremely difficult, and lot prices may be higher than normal. This is why we recommend ensuring you get into Salem before 8 am.

After booking your trip, we'll send you a confirmation email with a few recommended accommodation options.

4.5-stars!
Two girls, one car, comfy shoes and a beautiful fall day. This trip was fantastic. The way the trip was laid out was easy to follow. We really appreciated the hidden gems that were less touristy and off the main streets. All of the options were well explained and expertly mapped out. I would recommend peeking ahead as we had only paid for parking for part #2 not realizing that we could stay in the same lot for part #3. Overall we learned a bit, explored a lot and enjoyed the adventure.
