Being from California, I've been to Channel Islands, Yosemite, and Sequoia. I've also been to the Grand Canyon. I loved them all and I can't say which one I would rate higher. But I guess I could say that the Grand Canyon was my least favorite. They're all magnificent, though.
One day I'll make it to Yellowstone.
Yellowstone is by far my favorite, always different everytime I go. Canyonlands & Arches are both beautiful. Can't forget about Pikes Peak & Rocky Mountain either, Chaco Canyon & Mesa Verde as well... far to many favorites to name them all! Someday I'll get to Denali & Glacier Bay
shareI get you on the Grand Canyon. I liked it. Yet, I came away the least impressed.
Sequoia I want to visit! As I'm not from California: is there a specific season you would recommending visiting it?

I don't know, it just that being among some of the tallest, oldest and largest trees in the world, including the 'Genaral Sherman', is an amazing feeling. Plus you get a view of Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the Lower 48. share
I'm in!

Incredibly moving locations that are very important to the history of America. I highly recommend visiting these places.
Frank: Just a man.
Harmonica: An ancient race.
Tetons, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, and Yosemite. I have been to all four.
shareYellowstone has the most in one place, although for knock-you-over beauty try the Tetons, and for desert beauty and wildlife, Joshua Tree.
shareDenali first and foremost, then Yellowstone, Glacier, Crater Lake, Grand Tetons, Acadia, and Rainier.
I have yet to travel to Yosemite or the southwest, so I haven't seen the Canyons either.
Faith can move mountains, but dynamite works better.

For me, it goes:
1. Arches National Park
2. Capitol Reef
3. Yellowstone
but yosemite and glasier top my list of places to visit
Glacier. My dad got a job as campground caretaker in Two Medicine the year before I was born, and my very pregnant mom went with him for his second year. I was born in Glacier Memorial Hospital in Cut Bank and spent my first 6 weeks of life in the caretaker's log cabin (wood-burning stove and all) in the Two Med campground. Every summer through my 6th year and many thereafter we spent at Glacier, and my brother took a job on the trail crew at Sperry Glacier. The place is in my bones. Far more vivid in memory than the suburban neighborhood where I spent 9 or 10 months of every year.
