USA National Parks

Above is a map of national parks (and some cities), that are my recommendations to visit.
BLACK ICONS mean to DEFINITELY VISIT if you’re in the US!! It’d be a shame to not see…
GREY ICONS mean to VISIT IF YOU HAVE TIME (not as typical to visit by tourists).

I think if I had to choose between national parks and state parks, I would say that I like national parks better… usually more dramatic somehow…

SAVE MONEY, BUY A PARK PASS

---

To save money, buy a national park annual pass [can be purchased at the entrance of any national park].  It costs US$80 for 12 months of unlimited access to every national park in the country [and even the ones in Puerto Rico]!

Since the entrance fee for U.S. national parks is usually around US$25 per car, this can really add up quickly!  When I used mine [driving across the U.S. for over 2 months and then flying to Haiwaii and Puerto Rico later on that year], I would have spent well over US$150, easily…

ONLY TRAVELING FOR A SHORT TIME?

If you’re only going to be traveling for a month or two and don’t want to pay for a pass that’s good for an entire year, then you’ll definitely want to read the #1 tip about this pass!  Share and find out!

 

MY FAVORITES (THUS FAR)

---

Here are some parks that I’ve been to that you should definitely check out if you’re in the area.  I don’t have pictures/posts for every one (either because I’m lazy, or because I only took a few photos while hiking around).
