What's Your Favorite National Park?

[Bill Bauer]

The best a country has to offer is often located in national parks. What are your favorite national parks? In the United States, are there any good national parks in the east?

All of my favorite national parks happen to be located in the United States. Ordered from north to south they are Glacier National Park (NP) in Montana [IMHO much more interesting than the Rocky Mountain NP in Colorado], Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP in Colorado, Utah NPs (Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Zion), and Big Bend NP in Texas.

Are there any national parks in the UK that are unusually special?

Plenty - the UK has stunning scenery. I would particularly recommend the South Downs and the Lake District but there are many more. Some more information here:

Scotland doesn't exactly have National Parks because such huge parts of the land mass are very underpopulated, so there's no need. Plus much of the land is owned by private landlords rather than the State. There are two official ones in the Cairgngorms and Trossachs. Parts of the Highlands of Scotland are not national parks but are widely considered to be some of the most beautiful areas of Europe. The Lake District in England is a pretty National Park but has nothing on the Highlands.

I think Plitvice in Croatia is one of the best in Eastern Europe.

Banff, Alberta is pretty sweet.

Definitely the one in Johto.

My favorite is Yellowstone national park in Wyoming; it is beautiful and volcanically active. Could cause an extinction level event anytime.

I'm two hours away from Yosemite, Kings Canyon National Park, and Sequoia National Park. These are the only National Parks I've been to. Yosemite is breathtaking when you drive through the tunnel and enter for the first time.

Arches and Canyonlands here in Utah... I've been to so many parks over the last few years it's really tough to pick one.
