What's your favorite National Park?

Man! I got to say this this one is tough to answer haha!

 

Great Basin NP is my favorite. Least visited NP in the nation

 

I lived in Glacier National Park for a summer, and worked at Two Dog Flats. I worked 15 hours a week, and hiked/back-packed, played ping pong, and roadtripped the other times. Best summer of my life.

Then, I took my 1998 Toyota Tacoma on a 1 month road trip from Seattle with Denali being the furthest North point. Spent a 3 day camping trip at Wonder Lake. Denali is just so dang big.

My uncle used to take us on mtn bike trips and this is from the Tetons in 1998. Pretty awesome experience.

So I don't have a favorite, but just feel fortunate to spend so much time in these amazing places.

Also - the lottery for Denali opened today. I put my name in the hat...https://www.recreation.gov/permits/233304

 

Lassen “ national forest “ you can see Mount Lassen and Mount Shasta.

 

Good for you Brother! That is s great area! I have been fortunate enough to spend a bit of time up that way.

 

Ye it was nice until I fell into a speed trap.... 20mph over...! cheap trip became expensive!! HAHAA

 

Slow and steady wins the race...

 

Sure is quiet in here............. @BalutTaco

 

Of all the ones I've been to, I don't think I have one I dislike.

Yosemite is great. Hard to beat Haleakala NP though just for the sunset. King's Canyon and Sequoia were pretty good too. I also like Pictured Rocks and Sleeping Bear. Had to miss out on Rocky Mountain NP due to the smoke, but we did get to check out Arches instead. Driven through Death Valley a couple of times and stopped out at Badwater Basin both times. Black Canyon of the Gunnison was also great. All of which are hard to capture on photo.

 

Dante’s view! Death Valley @Hobbs

 

Very nice!
That is a spot I have not visited. Yet.

 

Some crater lake action! The color of the lake is something else.

 

That is bad ass!!! Crater Lake is high in my list.
I was gonna do the Pacific Northwest swing this past May and see 6-7 parks, but the COVID had other plans...

 

I highly recommend hitting up Lassen national park and hike up Mount Lassen! Shasta is also cool too, Water is freeezing upper mid and lower. (lower full of locals) might get stared down at....Both are beautiful places. Check out the lava tunnel if you can! Bring a headlight!

 

Big Bend National Park...love all of the other parks in this string but I think Big Bend is underrepresented (thankfully!)

 

I have been fortunate to spend time in that area, although I have not climbed Lassen.
I made an attempt on Shasta years ago, but my partner and I got blown off the peak in the middle of the night. I'll never forget that adventure!!

 

Big Bend is also on my list of parks to see! Nice pic's!

 

Glacier National is my most favorite...I don't see any other park knocking that off of my top spot.

We might be going to Acadia this summer, and that could become a close second

 

Thanks for the response...we’ve been going to BB for 25 years. Feel free to PM me if you have questions about what to prioritize when you visit the park.

 

has anyone ever been to Acadia? Any suggestions of where to camp? Cool things to do.
