21 Underrated National Parks for Avoiding Summer Crowds
20. National Park of American Samoa (U.S. Territory): Remote Tropical Paradise
Seeking an equatorial escape far from any crowds? This is America's only National Park south of the equator. Spread across three volcanic islands in the South Pacific, it protects lush rainforests cascading down to pristine coral reefs and secluded beaches. Hike jungle trails, snorkel vibrant reefs, learn about unique Samoan culture, and experience true remoteness. Visitor numbers are exceptionally low due to the distance and limited infrastructure, ensuring a tranquil, crowd-free tropical paradise experience unlike any other park.
