Yellowstone was named the first national park in 1872, and since then the U.S.'s National Park System has grown to include 63 parks. Here are the ones you most need to visit--the 20 best national parks in America.
America invented the national park when it made Yellowstone the world’s first in 1873, introducing the idea that “extraordinary” land should be protected from public development and preserved for future generations. After visiting half of the country’s 63 National Parks, it’s obvious some are better than others. A handful of recent ones seem downright ordinary, if not political, when compared to less prestigious but clearly superior state parks like Na Pali or Custer.
With nine total, California has the most National Parks, followed by Alaska with eight, and Utah with five. In fact, the western United States is home to over 80% of National Parks, even though just a quarter of the population lives there. This explains why The Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee welcomes the most visitors, over 14 million annually, compared to Zion’s 5 million, the second most.
Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado after first visiting it. Whatever it is, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more majestic mountain range with more teal alpine lakes than here. Situated near the picture-perfect town of Estes Park, Rocky Mountain is the total package, even if it’s difficult to name a single feature like other parks on this list.Many people argue this is the most beautiful National Park on the eastern half of America.
