I have been to all except Rocky Mountain - driven through Colorado and that alone is beautiful! They all have so much beauty. But my favorite is Glacier NP! 💜
These ten are fabulous. But there are so many others that if you skipped these and saw ten different ones you would also think that you had gone to heaven and you would not be wrong. This country's National Parks are amazing.
Zion, Bryce and Arches are absolutely gorgeous, but in the summer months they are also absolutely gorged with people. Go at different times of the years, like fall or early spring. If you must go in the summer, there are so many other options in the four corners area that do not get crowded. Canyonlands and Capitol Reef are amazing and have far fewer people. Mesa Verde is a different type of park, being a park dedicated to Native American ruins and is a must see, but in the summer it is one of the most crowded parks so some good alternatives that are close by are Hovenweep NM, Chaco Canyon NHP and Canyon de Chelly and they are all close by. In fact, the Colorado Plateau has so many places to see that are amazing that you could skip the big National Parks and be blown away by all the other places to see. It is the best that this country has to offer all in an area that covers parts of four states.
Having seen both Mesa Verde and Aztec Ruins park in NM, I completely agree with your suggestion to skip Mesa Verde and visit some of the smaller parks in the area instead. The history lesson is great at all these parks, and if you avoid Mesa Verde, you'll feel like you've got the whole park to yourself.
Yes, Monument Valley is one of the definite place to see in this country and you are correct, it is administered by the Navajo as it is a Navajo Tribal Park.
Fact note, Yosemite was the first land set aside by the government to be classified as a protected park, but it was managed by the state of California. That's where the idea for national parks was born, not Yellowstone.
Unfortunately our National Parks are being loved to death. Reservations needed to camp, and even for some popular overlooks. Bumper to bumper traffic. Trash. Frustration. So many beautiful places in this country that aren't crowded.
All these are great and i have been to most of them but you have missed the most visited park in the country......The Great Smoky Mountains! 14 million visitors last year. since it is not on your list maybe that means less will venture there this year....we can hope....LOL Sad truth is many of our parks are being loved to death.
Never been to the smokey mountains, but from what I've read, it seems like it's the most visited National Park mainly due to logistics. It's easily accessible from many heavily populated cities. I would love to visit during the Autumn season which is where the eastern national and state parks thrive with those gorgeous red maples.
As someone who always lived very close to redwood national park I have always been baffled about how people think redwood is very good it is a very mid tier park there is not much beauty and it’s a very simple park
Thanks for the non-recommendation. I had wanted to see Redwoods, but now I'll only make a point to see it if it's on the way to something else that I want to see anyway. I appreciate the truth, even when it's not pleasant.
@@JustMe-vn5pqI didn’t get all the way up to redwoods np, but I saw a redwoods state park near Santa Cruz. I think just getting out to see any of the redwoods is cool. They’re just such massive trees, it’s hard to really understand their scale unless you are there in person.

Wonderful

Thank you K Jennings! There is definitely more to do another video on.
It’s hard to argue with your picks, especially since I share your number one. This is a very well-made video as well.
I see you're a National Parks enthusiast as well! We're blessed to have so many beautiful parks! Thank you for watching!
You missed Mount Rainier and Olympic National Parks.
Great video
Thank you for watching!
Rocky Mountain NP❤❤❤
Good presentation
Seen four from the list above , beautiful and breathtaking

My Brody friend and I are hitting all 5 Utah parks next September. Hoping it won’t be too crowded by that point for us!
I love this style of top 10 video. It’s a little bit of travel, good travel tips, nature, and science
Thank you Patrick! I appreciate you watching!!
Thank you- hope to visit the ones I have not yet been to when I retire in a couple of years!😊❤😊
What a wonderful way to treat yourself. 😀 Thanks for watching!
The Boston common was the first national park
Beautiful well done video,... but isn't the front picture of Monument valley, gorgeous, but thinking Indian land, not a national park.
Yes, you are right
It's certainly awesome enough to be a national park.
Yes, Monument Valley is one of the definite place to see in this country and you are correct, it is administered by the Navajo as it is a Navajo Tribal Park.
@@davkatjenn it's certainly a great place to visit if you're doing a NP loop out there. Spectacular.
Monument Valley is a great backdrop for pictures, but in my opinion it's not really worth a special trip unless you're going that way anyway.
I would love to visit those!
They are very beautiful Lilz, everyone should see at least once!
Do not wait, go and see them.

Unfortunately our National Parks are being loved to death. Reservations needed to camp, and even for some popular overlooks. Bumper to bumper traffic. Trash. Frustration. So many beautiful places in this country that aren't crowded.
And that’s exactly why planning and forethought is necessary when visiting these beautiful wild places.

There will be more videos in the future, stay tuned and thanks for watching!
