The weather is mild, and the wide-open spaces of the park are far quieter than in the summer months, meaning that it can feel like you have the place all to yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t miss a drive along the incredible Going-to-the-Sun Road, which remains open until the 3rd Monday of October yearly, and the road is open for pedestrians and cyclists. Walking or cycling along this iconic road is an opportunity you\u2019d never get in the summer months, so make the most of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wildlife is active during fall as bears, elk, and mountain goats make their preparations for winter, so you\u2019re likely to get lucky if you\u2019re keen on wildlife spotting. And, of course, the fall colors make for great photo opportunities. The larch trees turn golden in mid-October \u2014 for the best views and photos, head to Highway 2 around the southern boundary of Glacier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shane-stagner-FGU1h7GoD8I-unsplash-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Glacier National Park, Montana\" class=\"wp-image-32860 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shane-stagner-FGU1h7GoD8I-unsplash-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shane-stagner-FGU1h7GoD8I-unsplash-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shane-stagner-FGU1h7GoD8I-unsplash-min-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shane-stagner-FGU1h7GoD8I-unsplash-min-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shane-stagner-FGU1h7GoD8I-unsplash-min-868x579.jpg 868w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shane-stagner-FGU1h7GoD8I-unsplash-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Glacier National Park, Montana | \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/FGU1h7GoD8I\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shane Stagner\/Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Great Smoky Mountains National Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This sprawling national park straddles the border between Tennessee and North Carolina.

There\u2019s not much that puts life into perspective more than gazing up at a star-filled sky \u2014 and isn\u2019t that just what we all need this year?

There are no massive peaks or iconic natural features that bring the masses in from far and wide, but that\u2019s no bad thing. It means that the trails are peaceful, and you can spend as much time as you like admiring the beautiful fall colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every corner of this park transforms into a golden or reddish hue during October or November for scenery that will take your breath away. Experience the solitude of Buttermilk Falls, or hike the Brandywine Gorge Trails to see the falling leaves reflected in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever national park you decide to head to this fall, you\u2019re in for a treat. Go for a day, a long weekend, or even a week, and soak up the experience as you fall in love with nature all over again. From quiet trails to mild temperatures, the national parks in fall offer everything you need to escape the every day for a spectacular visit.<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/best-places-fall-colours-usa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">7 of the Best Places to See Fall Colours in the USA (That Aren\u2019t New England)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re going to let you in on a little secret: to avoid the crowds and see the varied scenery of the United States at its very best, pay a visit to national parks in the fall.
