Essential Park Guide, Fall '14: Your Travel Guide To The National Parks

Share
By NPT Staff - August 17th, 2014

For many, fall conjures images of blizzards of golden leaves, the eerie bugles of bull elk, and the first crisp, possibly snow-dusted, days of year’s end. For the northern half of the country these are the realities of the National Park System. There are the breathtaking days of hiking, watching wildlife on the move, and even tasting the season in the bounties of wild berries and other fruits.

These three months are picturesque and inviting, luring us into the parks to celebrate the season. For some, it might be the last adventure before winter’s snows and cold close in. For others, it’s the best season to experience the parks, with fewer visitors, and cooler weather. People’s calendars are filling with trips.

To help you navigate the season, Traveler's Essential Park Guide, Fall 2014, offers suggestions on hiking in Acadia and Grand Canyon national parks, offers a tasty treat in an article about fruits ready for harvesting in the parks, and looks across the park system for some great wildlife viewing options.

For dreamers, we've included a story on Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve in Alaska that will prompt you to start checking airfares for next summer. But if that's too far, you might want to check into the oldest lodging property in the National Park System, the Charit Creek Lodge at Big South Fork National River and Recreation on the Tennessee-Kentucky border.

What would the fall months be without a road trip or two? We've touched on four you might consider.

You can read the content as we roll out the stories on the Traveler, open the 50-page flipbook below and start reading the entire publication now (refresh your page if it doesn't automatically appear), or order a hard copy or a digital copy via Blurb at MagCloud.
