2Mesa Verde National Park
Travel to this national park nestled in southwestern Colorado. Different from several other national parks in America, this place has more than deep gorges, lush forests, memorable mountain views, and more than 1000 endemic species. Here you will also find ancient Pueblo settlements from over 700 years ago. You can take a ranger-led tour of them as early as May.
You can also enjoy two of the most popular activities, hiking, and wildlife viewing while avoiding the summer tourists. You’re practically guaranteed to see black bears, deer, and turkeys. You can also go camping at the popular Morefield campground. It’s also a great place to see the stars too since this is an International Dark Sky Park. The absence of all artificial light here t night makes the stars look especially brilliant.
3Acadia National Park
Maine’s Acadia National Park is one of the best parks to visit during spring. You avoid the summertime crowds, and can still go hiking and enjoy the budding new flora and newborn wildlife. You can also enjoy the tallest peak located on the East Coast–Cadillac Mountain.
This mountain is also arguably the first place in the country where you can see the sunrise for almost six months. Free of summer tourists, you can hike there and also The Beehive. Mind you, the latter includes ladders and iron rungs that are not exactly ideal for anyone who is afraid of heights.
If you’re not big on hiking, cruise the scenic 27-mile Park Loop Road. In fact, springtime is perfect for biking here as well! Beautiful Bar Harbor reopens in the spring so be sure to visit there too!
