As summer draws to a close, it may feel more comfortable to stay at home. However, don't forget that fall is the best time of year to explore the outdoors in the United States. So, don't miss out on the opportunity to experience the beauty of autumn.

According to Jim Pattiz, co-founder of More Than Just Parks, "Fall is his favorite time to visit national parks. The peak of crowds and tourist dollars ends with summer and is replaced by the beautiful shimmering yellow leaves, and animals migrate and prepare for winter, giving people a chance to observe more wildlife in the parks."

Here are four national parks in the US that you can visit in the fall:

1. Acadia National Park, Maine

Acadia National Park in Maine is one of the best choices for fall travel. The fall colors there are astounding, from deep reds and oranges to golden yellows - the most beautiful colors of the year. The cool fall days are also perfect for hiking and walking.

Mahoney suggests that visitors to the area experience Acadia's most popular hiking trail, the Precipice Trail, which will be open from fall until the end of the nesting season for peregrine falcons and falcons.

However, this section of the trail is not suitable for people with a fear of heights or children, but it is the perfect place for those who want to explore the fall and leave behind a brilliant maple color worth remembering.

2. Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

Each fall, Rocky Mountain National Park is lined with aspen trees painted a beautiful yellow. While hiking the trails, you can also hear the call of the Canadian deer, which can only be heard in the fall, when they are in mating season. Although the cooler fall weather is ideal for hiking, there is still a chance of snow, so it's best to be prepared.

The endless view and the relatively small number of people bring an unforgettable travel experience. The fall foliage here is a kaleidoscope of colors, covering the entire mountain and valley in orange, gold, and yellow.

In the fall, when the Canadian deer are in a rut, you can see them strolling through the wilderness.

3. Congaree National Park, South Carolina

This 2,600-acre wilderness in the heart of South Carolina, added to the National Park System in 2003, is an excellent model for the preservation of depressional forests in the South.

In addition to lowering South Carolina's temperature and humidity in the fall, the mysteriously charming swamps change shape as the larch needles turn orange and red, rendering the land a brilliant splash of color. Even though there is no obvious peak time, Congaree is still a great place to see the fall foliage.

4. Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, North Carolina

In Tennessee and North Carolina, it's hard to find more outstanding fall scenery than the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is even considered to be the best place in the world to see maples.

In October, as the summer crowds dissipate, the most visited national park in the United States and the misty hills at the southern end of the Appalachian Mountains begin to turn red, orange, and gold.

Pattiz says there are many viewpoints in the park where you can stop and look out at the endless stretches of mountain fall color. The charm of the Great Smoky Mountains will keep you coming back time and time again to enjoy this unparalleled beauty.
