We were there for 18 days with a car and did pretty much the whole country, minus the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve, although we did spend a couple days in the Westfjords. The fall colors were spectacular, especially later in September in the north between Akureyri and the Westfjords. We got extremely lucky with the weather and had a surprising amount of sun. I loved the whole island, but I think the highlands area was my favorite. Hiking the Brennisteinsalda loop in Landmannalauger was absolutely incredible.

Thank you very much! I’ll read up and add to my dream itinerary.
