8Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone should be on everyone’s list. However, visiting during the months of April and May has its advantages. For it is at this time of the year that the snowmelt begins, beautiful wildflowers grow again, and baby bison are born.
You will also find it easier to locate a parking space and it’s too early for the summer crowds! Mind you, during the month of April, some of the roads and even accommodations are not open. So enter the park via the north/northeast entrance and book a hotel room nearby.
In May, all the roads are open. All lodgings are available as well. You can use any entrance you choose. You can stay inside the park too. Your choices here include the Old Faithful Inn, Mammoth Hot Springs, and Canyon Village. The restaurants are also open.
9Bryce Canyon National Park
Utah’s Bryce Canyon National Park is famous for its thousands of sandstone pillars known as hoodoos. They evoke an alien-like atmosphere that makes a truly memorable first impression. While this park is open year-round, it’s snowy and too cold for anyone not interested in winter vacations.
In the summer it can be too hot and is generally crowded too. Ah, but in spring, the crowds have yet to arrive, and the weather is cooler and reportedly perfect for hiking. The assorted eateries are open again, the local hotels are open, and the park’s free shuttle is running once more.
In fact, while the shuttle, which boards in Bryce Canyon Village, isn’t mandatory, it provides visitors a free, easy way to travel to places in the area of the popular Bryce Amphitheater. Bryce Amphitheater is where you’ll see the majority of the popular, previously mentioned hoodoos.
