My Top 10 Parks and Destinations

After the recent collapse of an arch in Utah's Arches National Park, I started thinking about the parks/destinations I want to take my wife, myself and my children to in the next few years.

After traveling out west and seeing some amazing places such as Yosemite, Zion, and Chugach in Alaska, I realized there are some absolutely amazing sites in this world, and I need to make the time to see them before they are (or I am) gone.

This list is limited solely to places in the continental U.S. I would very much like to get out of the country and see places across the globe, but that is for another post and most likely not going to happen until my kids are in college.

Here is my top 10, in order of preference:

  1. Yellowstone
  2. Grand Canyon
  3. Arches
  4. Petrified Forest
  5. Bryce Canyon
  6. Black Hills
  7. Painted Desert
  8. Grand Tetons
  9. Rocky Mountains
  10. Crater Lake

This is not necessarily my entire list, but that would be too long and most likely unattainable. This is my "realistic" list for now.
