50 state parks perfect for a fall road trip - MSN
Looking for a road trip destination this summer?
State parks can be a hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts. Even better, they usually aren’t as busy as national parks.
The National Park Service states that more than 300 million people visit more than 400 national park areas in the U.S. each year. Because summer is typically a prime time for travel, it makes sense that parks start to fill up during these warmer months.
However, with concerns over the coronavirus pandemic, national parks may be even harder to access than usual. Phased reopenings have already started to take place in many popular locations, such as Arches, Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks. These phased reopenings could include limitations on daily visitors, parking permits, and/or camping permits.
