top 3 us national parks

1. Yellowstone National Park,

Wyoming Yellowstone park is easily the most popular US national park, and perhaps it's one of the best park you can visit in the world due to its incredible geothermal features and amazing wildlife, but also because its overall size makes for a great trip. I love this area of Wyoming so much because it has everything that a person should be able to do while traveling, from hiking along Yellowstone to kayaking on top of the famous Grand Canyon. Yellowstone park is located in northwestern Wyoming and at 15,000 acres, it holds approximately 11 million acre worth of land. It contains over a thousand geysers which cause them to erupt during summertime - they're all incredibly colorful and are beautiful to look at. Yellowstone is known as one of the "Seven wonders of the World" by UNESCO and was named in honor of John Wesley Powell who was responsible for creating Yellowstone (which is still not in operation). Yellowstone is also home to many different animals that are endangered, such as black bears, elk, bison, grizzly bears, wolves, coyotes, and even some lynxes. There's also plenty of water in this park and you'll find lots of opportunities to go swimming or explore the surrounding areas, especially the nearby Lake Mead reservoir. The local tribe people enjoy fishing in these waters and there is also an outdoor waterpark with tons of slides which is perfect for families or groups of friends and a place where kids will have fun. Since this is a large part of western USA Yellowstone is highly accessible thanks to highway A16 and roadways such as interstate 5 and 90 that take you to both sides of the park and also through out Montana. Once you leave Yellowstone you can head north to see more of what Wyoming is made of. When you're done in this park you can move into town, make your way down toward Hot Springs in Cody, WY, and then drive south to get back to Yellowstone and continue exploring. If you stay too long in Yellowstone you'll find out about the history of Yellowstone National Park and also learn about how this park was created. This is something that I definitely recommend visiting if you want to learn more about nature in America. Next time you're looking to travel somewhere there's no better place than heading to Yellowstone when it comes to experience nature and wildlife as well as learning about history.

2. Glacier Bay National Park,

Washington As we mentioned above Yellowstone is a unique and breathtaking park but you can actually go further west to reach a state park called Glacier Bay. Although it's also home to glaciers, you won't find the same amount of them as Yellowstone does. However, the park is just 2 hours east of Seattle. Its largest attractions include Mount Rainier, Devils Backcountry Campground and the Beaverhead Lakes Ice Caves. In addition to having lakes full of fresh water, the park houses wild salmon, walleye (one of the few fish species), eagles, and humpback whale. You can also swim among glacier-filled rivers and catch fish if you want to eat them. While the river is free swimming the lake is only open to those who live within 10 miles of it, so if you live too far off the shore you might not be able to access either of their beaches. Of course there is plenty of camping available in Glacier Bay State Park which includes an RV campground, picnic tables, fire pit with gas to cook on, and a campsite with a toilet that doubles as a shower. With that being said it's easy to spend a week here without ever leaving town and it's definitely worth checking out. Yellowstone State Park is a must-do place if you've never been to the United States before. However as soon as you leave Yellowstone you're going straight into another very important part of the country, Alaska. The next thing I'd like to mention are two other US national parks that are close enough to each other, but even easier to access for everyone, these are Denali National Park (also known as Neander. It's on the northern tip of Canada) and Olympic National Park, Utah. Both parks were built because there weren't any natural resources close to the North American border, so they have similar geological landscapes. They're both extremely scenic places for visitors to check out. Whether you're interested in hiking around Denali or you need to get away from civilization for a bit, both have excellent facilities and amazing views. Just keep in mind Denali doesn't have so much in common with Utah's Olympic, in fact, it's a lot more remote and less visited, but if you're up for a challenge, it's absolutely possible for you to get lost if you don't know where you're supposed to start. There are plenty of activities open up here but it's hard to say for sure if this is the right place for you, but my personal favorite activity is taking horse rides through forests and valleys surrounded by mountains. These tours are often booked at weekends on private companies but if you're lucky you might find yourself on a tour operator as there are plenty of options to choose from. One thing I would suggest is sticking around after the crowds are gone. My boyfriend and I like to spend day days in Denali because they have incredible views across the peaks in the mountains. After that we typically hike our backpacking route through the entire mountain range or spend a little time inside a cabin and relax. Overall there's really not a bad option when you're looking for a quick vacation. Also, if you're looking for a longer stay consider renting a car and driving through Colorado and New Mexico. We did not try doing it but it would probably be awesome to drive through the Great Plains and possibly see some buffalo or llamas. For me personally, the best decision I've made is staying at Disney Wilderness Campgrounds. Their park is located between Disneyland and Universal Studios and it's very close to Downtown Orlando where nightlife is great but affordable accommodations are available if you need to get away from the big city life. What I love about Disney Wilderness is they have three different overnight stays with various packages to fit all budgets and there's a nice selection of food and souvenirs as well. Another very valuable decision for myself is Hotel Tivoli Resort. This hotel in downtown Orlando is right next door to our resort and it provides fantastic service, friendly staff, and it's relatively inexpensive. If you're looking for luxury and comfort then a second family room or condo is perfect for you. Last but not least is Silverado Ranch Lodge & Spa. Located just minutes from Walt Disney International Airport and surrounded by lush forest and majestic mountains, you won't need a whole lot of money to book this lodge or it will cost you approximately $50 per night. This lodge offers seven rooms including guest suites, cabins, cottages, dorms and cottages including several amenities including indoor pools with hot tubs, Jacuzzi, fitness center, sauna, spa service, poolside restaurant, 24-hour security, and free wifi. Unfortunately, this isn't a budget-friendly option but it's so close to Orlando that it may have to offer a cheaper rate. Whatever you decide upon though, the main thing about staying in this location is that it feels very authentic. You literally feel like you're backpacking throughout Europe while enjoying the comforts of your own home. Other than the things I've already mentioned I don't think anyone else should miss out on seeing Yellowstone on their next vacation. So if you're wondering exactly what type of hotel you can book in Florida make sure you read that next part. If you're lucky you might end up at the aforementioned resorts which have got everything you need. All in all, Yellowstone should definitely be a must-see if you need inspiration for your next adventure.

3. Arches National Park

Grand Canyon National Monument Grand Canyon National Memorial is a must-see when you're looking to visit the Southwest. The park is located on the Colorado Plateau and spans 3,917 miles (6,907 kilometers), which gives it a larger circumference than all other national parks combined which is why it's so fascinating to watch the Arizona Diamondbacks win 7 consecutive World Series Games. You won't be alone with this park on your vacation as it's filled with plenty of dinosaurs, flora and fauna. Unlike the rest of the parks you can actually venture into the canyon where wildlife tends to congregate. You can hike up and around the walls along with other trails, climb rocks or walk the floor (which makes for quite the view!) the park itself has over 200 ancient structures such as petroglyphs/shrine ruins, cave paintings, and rock paintings. It's considered one of the most recognizable sights in the world, which shows that it's had a lot of impact on people. Along with animal sightings there are tons of activities open up here like helicopter trips, boat tours, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, and even zip-lining. But the highlight of this park is obviously the grand canyon. Even though it's technically a huge, man-made gorges, you'll still be amazed by the sheer magnitude of the natural beauty when you're in this spot. Over 2 million years ago this massive wall was formed when Earth began to buckle under the weight of volcanic activity after plate tectonics pushed apart the surface of the earth. Some have speculated that the canyon once housed a river delta, however since it was cut off from the mainland it didn't become connected until 1969. Nowadays, you can easily explore the canyon, even if you're not specifically looking for a waterfall. Another reason it's such a memorable place is due to what happened to humans before. Today, this huge crater appears blue and barren due to erosion caused by climate change. The last thing I'm going to talk about is the Little Rock Waterfall, which is pretty impressive considering it's just a trickle. Despite this lack of human
