Mark,
I have been to national parks in the US, Canada and England
and can say without reservation that they are my favorite
places to visit. Those of us who enjoy the outdoors should
be very grateful that our governments have been able to
protect these natural treasures. I like the mountains best
of all so my favorites include Banff and Yoho in Canada (the
Canadian Rockies top the US Rockies in my opinion); Lake
District National Park in England (has it all - peaks,
valleys, streams, tranquil lakes, villages, even mystical
stone circles); and many in the US - Grand Teton, Arches,
Mount Rainier, Acadia, Denali, Rocky Mountain, Yosemite.
That does not include wilderness areas, national monuments,
national forests, state parks, regional parks, etc. which
are often as worthy of a visit. The one that is at the top
of my list to see next is Glacier in Montana. I may have to
combine it with nearby Waterton given Donna's endorsement. I
guess now is a great time for me to start planning and
getting in shape for an excursion there next summer.
