Christmas Tree Worms are little undersea creatures shaped like tiny, colorful Christmas trees and live on coral reefs in tropical environments, like the National Park of American Samoa. 

Not ready for summer to be over? Here’s a list of the best parks to visit in the fall—not for the foliage, but for the most comfortable weather! These parks typically experience extreme summer heat, but become ideal once the cooler fall air arrives, and now’s the time to visit!

Here’s the list, compiled by National Geographic:

↟ Everglades, FL
↟ Congaree, SC
↟ Big Bend, TX
↟ White Sands, NM
↟ Saguaro, AZ
↟ Capitol Reef, UT
↟ Joshua Tree, CA
↟ Death Valley, CA

Remember, these are not the best parks for fall foliage, but instead, the best to visit in the fall to take advantage of milder temperatures and smaller crowds.
