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.

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.

Cant type them all out on the phone...but...for Utah. Rent a jeep and check out spyder mesa while you check out the arches.

If you have the time, stay in Escalante, UT for a nught at the motel. Clean, cheap, and an awesome little town.

My wife and I travel as much as we can afford, the national seashore of texas (if you have a 4x4), yellowstone, and utah are must sees.

The luna mesa is another oddity thats awesome to see.
