Parks I have not yet visited which would be lovely to see would be Olympic and Yosemite. I would love return visits to Glacier and Yellowstone, as I have not seen them since childhood. And Thomas Mangelsen's incredible photos of both those parks are so inspiring.
Oh goodness, there are so many I’d give anything to see but at this stage of life & health they are only dreams. Still, here are my choices if it could ever happen: Yosemite, Redwoods, & Grand Canyon.
My all time favorite national park is the Badlands. I felt such amazing energy there. I currently live in TN and I'm truly enjoying The Great Smokey National Park. The wildflowers are amazing right now.
I definitely will make the homemade ketchup. Thank you. I have not traveled much but did spend an overnight at the Grand Canyon. It is so breathtaking. I will be seeing other parks with you.
I have been to Yellowstone, which is fantastic, but can also be very crowded in the summer months. At the top of my bucket list is Yosemite so I hope to get to live through your visit vicariously😊
I would love to see the Grand Canyon, although the Arches and Grand Teton are on my list as well. But until I do, I will do my 'seeing' with the 4 of you!
I'm so jealous of your road trip! What an exciting time, the moments just before the adventure begins!!
I've been to Yosemite quite a few times now, but every time I'm there I'm in awe of the place. It feels almost otherworldly (and thankfully so) that places like it still exist and are protected!
I visited almost by accident Pinnacles National Park back in 2020 and ended up hiking a ten mile loop, that was suppose to only be 5 but I read a map wrong. It was beautiful and unexpected! It's one that isn't talked about much.
I love Arches in Moab and Canyonlands but they're so strict now about dogs so when I'm in Moab I often seek out other red rock hikes that are more dog friendly. There are so many of them along the river, I could sit in that desert for weeks.. But even just driving through Arches and up to Canyonlands is spectacular- I don't think I love anything like I love that red rock.
I could go on forever, but I think those are my top places as of now. Will have to go out exploring soon to discover some more of them!!
Safe travels!!
P.S- for your America the Beautiful Pass they make pass sleeves so you can cover up that monsters face if you don't want it peaking out of your wallet all summer! Not that he's ever stepped foot in a park, nor experienced the deeply profound healing of nature. Would have done us all some good if he had...
Definitely Yellowstone and Yosemite and Grand Tetons on my list … Two of my favorites that I have visited are Big Bend and Zion … now to get out my map and do some day dreaming!!
Hi Tom, Samwise & Miss Emily, we have visited several, but Yosemite was magnificent! Yellowstone is on the bucket list, health permitting.

Grand Canyon! We hope to go this Fall for our 40th anniversary. Cannot wait!
Have also heard from friends that glacier national Park is beautiful.
Grand Teton

I have to say it’s the Grand Canyon. I was blown away when I saw it! 😍

Hoping to get to Acadia in Maine on one of our trips back/forth to NS.
Happy Spring!

Hard question!
Redwoods National Park, along with all the CA state parks around that area. King's Canyon and Sequoia are on the list for fall.
Grand Canyon, Bryce, Acadia are my other favorites.
Sleeping Bear Dunes and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshores in Michigan are my favorite places in my state.
