The autumn season is upon us in the Northern Hemisphere, which means that a bouquet of colors is going to start turning nature into a fiery landscape that can only be seen to be believed. The United States, with its numerous deciduous forests and protected landscapes, is one of the best countries to see fall and its colors.
If you’re looking for suggestions for parks to see fall colors in, look no further!
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Peak: mid-to-late October
This magical park, the country’s most popular, is one of the best places on earth to see trees’ colors change in autumn. Go in mid or late October to see the Tennessee and North Carolina mountains come alive.
Rocky Mountains National Park
Peak: mid-to-late September

This underrated Maine park is fantastic because it combines fall colors with the beauty of the savage North Atlantic Ocean. Get here at the end of September or the beginning of October to see the colors in full bloom.
