15 Best National Parks to Visit This Fall

"Wade calls Cumberland Gap National Historical Park a '‘lesser-visited’ national park area with rich history and spectacular foliage.' Forging a passageway through the Appalachian Mountains, the 14,000-acre park is located where Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky meet, and its mountainous terrain gives way to plenty of hiking trails and unbeatable vistas. He notes that the fall colors would kick in around mid-October, so plan your trip accordingly." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Very interesting National Park with friendly staff in headquarters building. Nice historical displays with excellent information on evolution of settlements in the area. Very scenic drive, although the winds of Hurricane Helene had just left a lot of debris on roadways in the park.

This is quaint, small town (named for the famous gap) is located near the (historically) disputed shared corner boundaries of Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Daniel Boone’s famous Wilderness Trail through the Cumberland Gap (geological feature) can be accessed from the National Park Service parking area in the town. According to historians, over 300,000 settlers took the challenging and dangerous route “up and over” the gap to settle Kentucky, Tennessee, and points westward.

Great little stop that kinda just popped up on our GPS on the way to the Smokey Mountains. Well worth the stop to check out and enjoy some hiking in nature, if you like that kinda thing. :) Its also part of the hike to the Tri-State point where you can be in Kentucky Tennessee and Virginia at once.

Had a very pleasant and informative time here at the National Park Visitors Center then a drive to the Pinnacle Overlook. Amazing scenery. Love reading about the history. Could spend a whole day or even more in the area. Lovely spot.

Absolutely breathtaking. To thinking how brave or maybe desperate the pioneers were for a new life and the hope of land for themselves.
