national park BUCKET LIST
The United States has 63 National Parks. These areas are protected to preserve the natural beauty and diverse ecosystems that are within the United States. In addition there are national monuments and natural preserves. The United States is teeming with incredible landscapes, nature and recreation and these parks are a great way to see some of the top highlights. I have been thoroughly enjoying discovering these National Parks. I have been to 38 National Parks thus far, but there are so many more on my bucket list. The all capitalized parks with check mark are ones I have visited. If I have blogged about it, you can click and it will bring you to that specific page. I am still working on getting pages for all the places I’ve been. Thanks for your patience. The ones with the little hiker are National Parks I have not visited yet.

my top BUCKET LIST
I have just begun my journey in exploration of our incredible National Parks but have so many places I still want to go. Some of my top destinations I want to check out next include: Acadia, Crater Lake, Dry Tortugas, North Cascades, Glacier, and Glacier Bay. However, I will go where the wind takes me. Which parks should I put at the top of my list?
