USA National Parks

National Parks in USA are among the best in the world. The diversity between Yosemite and Yellowstone to Grand Canyon and Great Smoky Mountain is incredible.

We visited 14 on our road trip, but plan to visit many more in future. It will take years trying to visit all 62 but it’s a challenge we have undertaken.

Consider buying an America the Beautiful annual pass if you plan to visit more than a few USA national parks in the next year.

• Utah is a hub for National Parks with the Mighty 5 of Capitol Reef, Zion Bryce Canyon, and Arches Canyonlands.
• Badlands in South Dakota is isolated but well worth a visit.
• Joshua Tree is an easy and fun day trip from Los Angeles and San Diego.
• Death Valley is a superb National Park and easy to visit in one day from Las Vegas.
• One of the most photogenic National Parks is Grand Teton.

Hiking and wildlife spotting, plus camping and mountain biking are very popular at National Parks.
