Any park with mountains and lakes is good! Of course, an African wildlife preserve would be fantastic to visit.

I like the same kinds of things.

My favorite national park is Theodore Roosevelt NP in North Dakota. It is hard to choose, because all the NPs are so beautiful. I have had some truly unforgettable hiking experiences in TRNP - wild horses, bison, lizards, and gorgeous sunsets.
ReplyDeleteYellowstone Park is my favorite national park, but Redwood National Forest is also amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy best experience has been in Denali. In spite of my reluctance to visit it turned out to be phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteIf we limit the list to only National Parks (exluding National Seashores, etc) I would have to say that my Favorite National Park is either Isle Royale in Michigan or Badlands National Park in South Dakota :D
ReplyDeleteHi David,
ReplyDeleteI haven't visited Isle Royale; it looks like a beautiful park. I will have to visit it. We are very lucky that we do have parks and natiional/state forests, etc., otherwise most of these areas would be private and have many homes, etc. Being originally from Oregon, I do not think about National Seashores since much of the west coast is state parks. In Oregon's case, the coastline was designated as a state highway (which people did use for travelling since the coast range is rugged) and the State still fights to keep the entire coastline public.
Good to hear from you,
Nancy
