6Denali National Park
Yes, Denali National Park is one of Alaska’s must-see places. During the spring months though, the wildlife awakens and you’ll have a lot of chances to see caribou, Dall sheep, grizzly bears, moose, wolves, and other species. Additionally, the hiking trails are newly opened, and the views are striking since much of the snow remains on the mountain.
As your hiking provides you with stunning views of glacial rivers and massive mountain peaks, you will enjoy refreshing crisp mornings, plenty of sunshine, and a pleasant average temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The closest big city is Fairbanks. It is 120 miles away from the popular park. If you make it your home base, you will undoubtedly discover that you will have less competition in finding accommodations there as well.
7Voyageurs National Park
Does the idea of spring in Minnesota seem odd? Voyageurs National Park, at the US state’s northern border and Canada, is off the beaten path but still beautiful. Visit here in the late spring and be part of the first group of people to see the place after the ice and snow have melted.
More importantly, this is one of the national parks that is famous for family summer vacations. Provided you visit after spring break, you will avoid families and summer breakers because schools will still be in session. You’ll see fishermen, but no families or students.
Explore the main attractions, the waterways, and lakes, via boat. Bring your own, rent one, or sign up for a tour. Check out the bald eagles, or get really adventurous and do some backcountry hiking and camping here as well.
Not into roughing it? Rent a houseboat. Some of the park’s campsites are made especially for watercraft.
