10 parks with fantastic fall color displays

Leaf peeping

As the fall colors deepen, so do the number of people who seek them. These autumnal enthusiasts are called "leaf peepers," and they can make a vacation out of viewing and photographing the fall foliage.

Of course, what better way to view fall's leaves than in a protected park, preserve or forest? Protected areas — such as Acadia National Park in Maine, Denali National Park in Alaska, and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail — provide the perfect setting for a colorful excursion.
