I have always thought that fall in Lithia Park in my hometown of Ashland, Oregon is truly the most vibrant place to be with all the colors! Reds, oranges, yellows, the park is full of amazing colors all around!
Lithia Park is in the center of our town and the biggest park in town that's tucked into the valley starting with downtown all the way up to fun swimming hole called "the reservoir."
I love the history of Lithia Park and how it was created by the same architect, John McLaren who designed the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. If you get to visit both parks, you will see distinct similarities in the designs!
It is a personal favorite location for fall family photos when the trees are at peak color! I met this sweet family in the morning to capture that beautiful light shining through the trees at just the right moment!
