As summer draws to a close, staying at home may feel a lot more comfortable, but don't forget that fall is the best time of year to explore the outdoors.

Fall is the time to visit national parks when the peak of crowds and tourist dollars ends with summer and is replaced by the beautiful glittering yellow leaves.

Animals also migrate and prepare for winter during this season, giving people the opportunity to observe more of the park's wildlife.

In this magical season, the beauty of the world takes on a different and wonderful color.

The leaves also join the carnival, giving visitors a unique experience, so do you know what are the most beautiful parks in the world in autumn?

While most people always associate alpine landscapes with fall maple viewing, naturalist Janisse Ray recommends the swampy areas of Congaree National Park as the next fall destination.

The 2,600-acre wilderness in the heart of South Carolina, which joined the national park system in 2003, is an excellent model for preserving depression forests in the South.

Ray praised Congaree for the old-growth forest and tree species, both of which are certified by UNESCO as diverse and ecologically sound.

In addition to lowering the temperature and humidity in South Carolina in the fall, the mysteriously charming swamps change shape as the larch needles turn orange and red, rendering the land a brilliant splash of color.

Even though there is no obvious peak time, Congaree is still a great place to see the fall foliage.

A dream destination for many travelers around the world, the entire park is named for the fact that the entire national park is surrounded by a landscape of blue glacial fjords and lakes, and it is one of the most famous adventure destinations.

To make the most of your adventure, you should choose late autumn, as that is the beginning of spring, coinciding with the melting of the snow and the revival of everything, which makes the landscape even more magical and beautiful.

The most relaxing national park to explore in the fall is Sennado National Park.

Enjoying the maples in Senado offers a wide view, and with the pleasant climate, you can see a lot of wildlife.

Most surprisingly, sometimes you can even see Washington DC from afar.

Shenandoah National Park is crossed by a road called Skyline Drive.

The Skyline Drive winds for 105 miles through the Blue Ridge Mountains ridge, with 75 viewpoints and trails along the way to take in the Shenandoah Valley.

If the maple viewing isn't enough, there are opportunities to see black bears preparing for winter in the park, or white-tailed deer roaming Skyline Drive for food.

Autumn makes most of Europe beautiful, and it is especially beautiful in the Douro Valley.

It is Portugal's country and one of the best-preserved secret tourist places.

When autumn comes, it turns into a sea of bright yellow, red, and orange.

The terraced vineyards of the tranquil Douro Valley cover the steep hills surrounding the river.

So it should be a top destination in autumn if you want to see such a rare sight.

In autumn, many national parks covered with fallen leaves bloom with red flowers and the scenery is spectacular and attracts a lot of visitors.

When planning a trip this solar season, you must prepare a thick jacket and bring your camera to take beautiful autumn photos.
