Discover the magic of the shoulder season in national parks! 🌲🍂 The "shoulder" season refers to the time between the peak and off-peak travel periods, usually lasting a few weeks in the spring and fall. With fewer crowds, cooler weather, and vibrant autumn colors, it’s the perfect time to explore. Whether you're hiking, wildlife watching, or simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, the shoulder season offers a more serene and intimate experience. Don’t wait—enjoy the parks at their most beautiful and tranquil! https://bit.ly/3Y0xJwu 📷: NPS National Park Service #ShoulderSeason #NationalParks #FallAdventures #travel #tourism #optoutside #outdoors
