What National Parks have you been to?

[Fishbulb]

Me I have been to:
Yosemite
Bryce
Grand Canyon
Zion
Yellowstone
Joshua Tree
Kings Canyon
Sequioa
Carlsbad Caverns

My favorite was Yosimite. The Yosemite valley is one of the most striking natural playgrounds I have ever seen. There is so much beauty there that it is overwhelming.

I also really enjoyed Yellowstone, but MAN those sulphur pits FOOF!


So which ones have you been to?

Yosemite, Crater Lake, Grand Canyon and various Parks within the Tahoe National Forest.

Re: What National Parks have you been to?

I have a dream that involves me and the hubby visiting all the National Parks and staying at all the special lodges of the National Parks. I certainly hope it comes true.

I even have a little book that I get stamped with the official park stamps when I visit.

Here's my list (I hope they are all Natl Parks, that line always gets fuzzy for me!)
Yellowstone Ntl Park
Glacier Ntl Park
Grand Teton
Mount Ranier
Olympic Ntl Park
Grand Canyon
Badlands
Arches
Bryce
Canyonlands
Zion
Death Valley
Joshua Tree
Redwoods
Sequoia and Kings Canyon

Wow, more than I actually thought!!

The Grand Canyon takes your breath away...

Totally. I was just there in July for the 1st time. I didn't think it was going to be anything great. It was. So very awesome. None of my photos do it any justice.

Re: What National Parks have you been to?

Come see me if you go to Yellowstone! I'm only 1 1/2 hours away!

So, here's my list

Yellowstone
Bryce
Zion
Golden Gate
Glacier
Banff (okay, so it's Canada)
Targhee, Teton (their forests, but close)

I'm sure there's more, I just don't know if they are considered National Parks

Also, I lived in Utah for 20+ years, it's sad that I didn't take advantage of the parks more.

Re: What National Parks have you been to?

I don't know if they are National Parks but I've been to the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls, both are absolutely breathtakingly stunning! I have a dream to visit some when I'm older.

Re: What National Parks have you been to?

You're kidding me right? Have you ever looked at the list of Nat'l Parks? I've been to so many it'd take me forever to figure it out!

Re: What National Parks have you been to?

I went to Yosemite ONCE when I was about 7-8 mths old I'm guessing? I was born in January and in the pictures everyone is wearing shorts and tanktops/t-shirts with their big ol' tube socks...I don't remember though.

as far as national monuments or historic parks.... Gah, the list is so long I can't begin to list...
