The National Park Service has been managing millions of acres across the U.S. for more than 100 years. Why? For the “enjoyment, education and inspiration of this and future generations” as quoted on their official website. With the help of their care of these national parks, more than 300 people get to visit 62 parks on a yearly basis.
With so many natural wonders to showcase, is it even possible to name one single park as ‘the best’? It is if you ask the right people!
We’ve gathered opinions from visitors and travel experts to try and figure out which parks are the best. If you were having a hard time deciding where to plan your next trip (when traveling will be safe again) then you’ve come to the right place!
Been to them all, most multiple times. Leaving Olympic off the list was an oversight for sure. Ocean beaches, mountains, rain forest, big trees, waterfalls, but best of all…..not crowded. Most diverse national park by far!
Our family of ten just returned from Yosemite! We biked, we hiked…a lot, enjoyed some good food and took tons of photos! Great memories were made! Highly recommend this national park!
I have visited most of the National Parks mentioned, plus Acadia National Park, Badlands National Park, Everglades National Park, Shenandoah National Park, Smokey Mountain National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Mesa Verde National Park, Olympic National Park, Craters Of The Moon National Park,
I have only seen a couple of NPs but there is not enough to do?
and what of Great Smoky Mountains NP? And Death Valley NP ?
