Some people are fearful of going out where they may contract the coronavirus, there are also some who prefer traveling during the autumn months when there are less crowds out of principle.

The Points Guy has an article on nine national parks that are considered "the best" for fall visits.

The article begins with:

If you’re thinking about visiting a national park this fall, you’re in luck. There’s a secret many travelers with flexible schedules have long known: national parks are best in autumn. 

Of course, that’s not true of every national park — there are more than a few that are best visited at other times of the year. But, generally speaking, fall can be a spectacular time to visit the nation’s parklands. The temperatures have dropped and the crowds have thinned, meaning you can enjoy the scenery without breaking a sweat or competing with other visitors for a photo.

So plan ahead and get the timing right, and these will be nine of the best national parks to visit in the fall.
