Known as the Grand Canyon of the East, it’s stunning in all seasons. Plus, the Park is home to The Autism Nature Trail (The ANT), a first-of-its-kind experience in nature designed specifically for visitors with autism spectrum disorder but which is enjoyable and appropriate for all.

Yellow cottonwood trees, clear skies, comfortable temps, and no crowds. My favorite place on earth!

Imagine entire mountainsides turning hues of gold, orange and red from the changing leaves of alpine tundra, and that’s what you get in Denali. In addition to the incredible fall colors, it is also a peak activity time for wildlife as they migrate and forage for winter (caribou, moose, bears and wolves). It is also dark enough to see the aurora borealis – something you likely won’t see in any of the other parks on your list in the autumn. Simply Google “Denali national park autumn photos” and you will get a sampling. You can also visit the Denali National Park gallery on my website. However, autumn in Denali occurs much earlier than those Lower 48 parks. Peak colors are typically end of August, first few days of September.
