1Glacier National Park (Montana)
Autumn in Glacier National Park brings a quieter, more serene atmosphere as the summer crowds fade and the park prepares for the coming winter. The larch trees, a unique deciduous conifer, turn a brilliant gold in late September and early October, creating a stark contrast against the evergreen forests and snow-capped peaks.
The Going-to-the-Sun Road, one of the most scenic drives in the U.S., is a must-do in the fall. Hiking trails like the Grinnell Glacier Trail and Avalanche Lake offer stunning views of the park’s autumn colors. Wildlife enthusiasts will also enjoy the fall season, as it’s one of the best times to spot bears, elk, and mountain goats as they prepare for winter.
