Favorite National Park?

Gates of the Arctic or Glacier Bay

Glacier

Banff National Park.

I've been to most of the big name ones, Glacier is my favorite, just stunning with great trails and lots of wildlife.

Yosemite and Yellowstone take a hit because of the crowds, but they are great places anyway.

Capitol Reef, Big Bend, and especially Cumberland Island get bonus points for lack of crowds.

Dry Tortugas is a great place to camp for a few days with a kayak and some fishing gear.

Zion is on my bucket list.

Glacier and Yosemite are the next two on my list.

Of the ones I've been, I'm not really sure. Yellowstone and Grand Teton are both amazing. Love RMNP. I also really enjoyed Mesa Verde. That was super cool at the time because we were able to go inside all the dwellings. If I had to pick, I'd probably say Grand Teton.

In Order:

Arches
Glacier
Yosemite
Zion
Rainier
North Cascades
Did I leave the Tetons out...

Left out Grand Canyon National park. And the year we went to Yosemite we spent a week in the Redwoods.

Hard to say favorites but Arches holds a special place. And Yosemite without all the people just once.

Haven't been to Glacier, yet.
I love Yellowstone in the spring.
Acadia current #2.(my best night sky experience)
Theodore Roosevelt NP is a lovely no crowd, peaceful, though tiny, place.

How many are there?

Asking what your favorite Nationals Park is like asking someone which one of their children is their favorite. They are all so unique and impressive that it’s hard to compare. Zion in late October is hard to beat for me though, light crowds and wonderful cool weather make for a great time to visit. I had been to a few National Parks before but the first time I went to Zion in the fall really was life changing for me and really sparked my love for our Parks and public lands

For reference I’ve been to most of these parks several times now

Arches

Really though it all depends on what time of year you want to travel, what kind of weather you want to visit, and what kind of activities you want to do because they’re all fantastic.
