In Acadia National Park, fall colors are most vibrant in October. Every autumn, the park's trees begin changing from the typical leafy green — first into a brilliant gold, then soft oranges, and finally profoundly vibrant reds. These changes begin as early as September and extend into November, which is why October is the best time to see fall colors—it's the most likely month to get the full spread of the leafy rainbow!
You can avoid the crowds at Acadia in two ways—visit in the summer or skip those jam-packed Acadia National Park tours. The most important thing is to avoid those typical Acadia National Park tours, like buses or guided experiences and instead go for a self-guided one.
How can you pick just one? Both the Tennessee and North Carolina sides of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park have so much to offer. The main draw on the Tennessee side is Gatlinburg, first settled in 1803. North Carolina is also home to Clingmans Dome, the highest point in the Smokies.
The Great Smokies has some of the most amazing natural wonders, including the Arch Rock, Rainbow Falls, Clingman's Dome towers, and more.
Although both of these parks are in Utah, they offer very different experiences! Choosing which one you should visit depends on what you are looking for. While Bryce offers stunning views of hoodoos, taking an Arches park tour will bring you close to the iconic natural arches.
Arches National Park has many stunning arches, but the best ones to see and know about include the Delicate Arch, Double Arch, and the Landscape Arch.
Arches National Park has over 2,000 arches that began their stories about 65 million years ago. Traveling through that kind of landscape is undoubtedly awe-inspiring, but it can be a little intimidating to figure out where to go. That’s where a self-guided tour steps in.
A good starting point for any Grand Canyon vacation is to take a Grand Canyon self-guided driving tour. If you're like most people, you're going to be spending your trip entirely at the park's South Rim.
Rocky Mountains National Park has many pet restrictions to protect wildlife. Keep your dog on a leash that's 6 feet long or shorter at all times, and don't leave your dog alone. They can only be in official campgrounds, picnic areas, and parking lots, as well as alongside roads.
Rocky Mountain National Park is open 24/7 all year long! This park is home to extreme weather, and the winters here can be fierce in the higher elevations. There is no way to predict road closures, but typically, the road is fully open around Memorial Day and closes around mid-October.
