Summer vacation season is here.
Now is the time to get out the roadmaps, national park visitor guidebooks and travel guides and plan vacations.

These scenic drives around US national parks offer not just jaw-dropping views, but the chance to spot bighorn sheep, bears and elk, all before you’ve left the car and started your hike.
Whether you're cruising along a canyon rim or pausing in a high-altitude meadow, take your time and explore at your own pace. Just remember: conditions can change fast. Always check the National Park Service website before you set out, as many of these roads close seasonally due to snow or other extreme weather.
