    Thanks for pulling this out of the DH, Phred.

    Don't forget, though, besides National parks, there are great spots normally right in your own backyard!

    (And those spots are one of the reasons our backyard is where it is!)

    Right On!

    Do a 'Google.com' using your "STATE + PARKS" and you'll dig up a
    wealth of information on your local parks.

    And try your "City's Name + Parks"; and your "County's Name + Parks".

    While I was in school in upstate New York I used to go to the Saratoga Battlefield. (Not sure if it's a national park per se.) It's hard to believe that such an unspoiled looking place was the site of battles during the American Revolution!

    We visited Zion Canyon National Park, which Wolfsoul has taken gorgeous pictures of, quite by accident, on the way to the Grand Canyon. It was a stunning surprise!

    We have many state parks near us, some teensy on the Boston waterfront, and bigger ones. I have never been to the Cape Cod National Seashore, but Paul has.

    My favorite National Historic Park is Chaco Canyon NM
    And the one I still hope to see one day is Yellowstone.
    But whatever US NP I have seen - they were all gorgeous

    Well, not in MY back yard, but it's part of our North Forty!

    I love our National Park system!! Whenever we are nearby one, we always go. I've been to quite a few, and I don't think I could pick a favorite. There are many in Colorado, but I haven't been to Mesa Verde or Dinosaur Ridge yet. Hope you don't mind if I share a few pictures of the ones we have seen in Colorado- I'd encourage everyone to come see it in person, too!

    Here's Rocky Mountain National Park- the most popular park here.


    The Sand Dunes- which is sooo amazing in person.




    Colorado National Monument


    I have Black Canyon pictures, too, but they aren't online, so I guess I'll restrain myself. Anyone have any pictures they took of their local parks?

    Yes it has- but not very many.
