With the global debut of the upcoming all-new 2027 Kia Telluride only weeks away, Kia America today is revealing more of the brand’s flagship SUV. Cleverly disguised in a unique full-body wrap, the custom pre-production model is seen being put through a grueling off-road trek, illustrating the SUV’s capabilities while coyly hiding its production sheet metal, which will be unveiled November 20 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The new images and video of the camouflage Telluride follow the dramatic studio-based teaser images that were released October 22.

You’ve probably seen plenty of Alaskan tourist brochures advertising a sea of colorful spring wildflowers, seasonal winter glacier tours, and plenty of summer camping and hiking, but there’s nothing quite like Alaska in Autumn.  As Autumnal enthusiasts, we are very excited that the season starts as early as August, meaning we can extend our cross-country leaf-peeping quest for an extra few weeks! 

Though the season is very brief here, it is one of the most remarkable destinations for fall-loving tourists.  You’ll get to witness the seasonal foliage change with unmatched fiery hues against the mountains as they get their first snow of the year.  It’s also a great time to catch some of the first seasonal sightings of the Northern Lights, and last sightings of migrating Humpback whales.   Of course, in true Alaskan fashion, there’s simply no end to the beauty and adventure that awaits you on your journey no matter the season.  So, let’s take a look at some of the places you should add to your Alaskan Autumnal Road Trip Itinerary!
