I started a thread on the SEC OT, so I figured I'd start one here also.

Seeing as I have an NPS logo as my avatar, obviously I'm a National Park tycoon. With that being said, I haven't visited as many parks yet as I'd like. Here are the ones I've been to:

Everglades (FL)
Biscayne (FL)
Congaree (SC)
Great Smoky Mountains (TN/NC)
Mammoth Cave (KY)
Rocky Mountain (CO)
Great Sand Dunes (CO)
Grand Canyon (AZ)
Acadia (ME)
Crater Lake (OR)
Redwoods (CA)
Lassen-Volcanic (CA)
Hot Springs (AR)
Cumberland Gap (TN)
Yellowstone (WY/ID/MT)
Grand Teton (WY)
Wind Cave (SD)
Badlands (SD)

I plan on visiting these this summer/fall:
Glacier (MT)
Zion (UT)
Canyonlands (UT)
Capitol Reef (UT)
Arches (UT)
Bryce Canyon (UT)
Great Basin (NV)
Big Bend (TX)
Carlsbad Caverns (NM)

How many have you visited?

I don't visit government funded parks. I find it immoral.

That is an impressive list. As you travel about and add to it, perhaps you can carve out a few minutes of peace and quiet while sitting around a campfire and make use of a dictionary.

I love the Parks and the out of doors.

Not I, but if that is the case then you would not use the descriptive phrase 'National Park' beside 'tycoon' as it would have nothing to do with it. Nice try. Just admit that you meant aficionado, devotee, maven, etc. and silently thank me. You may have learned something.

I have a friend going to grad school at USU and a couple friends working for the USFS in Kamas and they say southern Utah is a must see. Hopefully I'll get some time off this summer to do it.

No way. Just trying to let you know you used a word incorrectly. You should be appreciative.

I have been to a bunch on your list and have a house in the NC mountains..love to camp, love to hike, love to cook outside, love to use the correct word.

Congrats on being a winner who loves the outdoors.

growing up, my parents had an RV. We went to all kinds of National Parks. I used to keep the passport and get it stamped at each one.

Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Zion and Bryce Canyons and of course the Smokies and Rockies stick out most to me.

Really weird feeling there. I;d love to go back myself.

I want to to go Kobuk Valley which is adjacent to GotA. It has arctic sand dunes.
