Q5 Some of the best scenic drives in #nationalparks are closed during certain seasons. Name a scenic drive you would recommend for each of the four seasons that is typically open during that season. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @59NationalParks A5 Of course Skyline Drive in @ShenandoahNPS is a must-see in the fall, but do it during the middle of the week to avoid the hordes of leaf peepers! (Leaf peepers is so fun to say.) #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A5 Going to the Sun Road is beautiful in early summer after it opens. Trail Ridge Road (the whole park) is gorgeous in autumn. #ParkChat

@RoadTripsCoffee A5: whoa, tough question. i'm going to recommend @GreatSmokyNPS. i've never experienced a road trip there, any time of the year, that wasn't pleasant. (autumn is a favorite time, though!)

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A5: Well, I hate cold weather, so I tend to avoid winter trips. But early season drives when the waterfalls are full is best! #parkchat

A5: Trail Ridge Road gets lots of deserved shine but take Bear Lake Road up to its namesake. You won’t be disappointed #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A5) One thing I have not done is drive the scenic roads right when they open for the season. I bet that would be a great time. I heard they alow bikes on the drive in Glacier NP while they clean the snow before the cars. That would be cool to do. #parkchat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A5) Highway 120 through Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park is a favorite of mine. #ParkChat
