12Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Spring is a great time to visit this national park in your rovin’ writer’s birth state. You will find this park on the Big Island. It’s a popular UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and is highlighted by a pair of active shield volcanoes. They are the Kilauea, and the largest volcano in the world, the Mauna Loa.

Oddly, while the state of Hawaii is associated with a sunny climate, the park’s 4,000-foot elevation frequently results in fog and rain. Thus, the park itself can be very humid in the summer, and quite wet in the winter. Since summer and winter are quite busy here, prices are the highest. Visit the park’s natural landmark in the spring and you’ll pay less for your stay, enjoy better weather in the park itself, and avoid the tourists too.

13Zion National Park

Beautiful Zion National Park in Southern Utah is yet another one of the best parks to see in the Spring. Famous for its twisting canyon and tall, rainbow-tinted red rocks, you can enjoy the assorted attractions here free of the summer heat and tourists. Take a stroll along the Zion Narrows Riverside Walk.

It’s under two miles in length, partially paved, and generally flat, making it an easy hike. If you’re feeling energetic, take one of the most famous hikes here and go hike the Narrows. The Canyon Overlook Trail is another short but noteworthy hike.

The hike is less than one mile with an elevation of 440 feet. The overlook offers travelers stunning views of the floor of the canyon and the various rock formations. Need a real challenge? Try hiking Angel’s Landing!
