Reader Participation Day: Which National Park Are You Heading to This Year?

Share

If you've been to Yellowstone, Yosemite, or the Grand Canyon, just to name three examples, in summer, you know they can be crowded. So, to help minimize overcrowding at parks this summer, tell us which parks you plan to visit so the rest of us can plan accordingly.

In June I'm heading to Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve and Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado.


Looks like everyone has some great plans for this summer! We are heading to Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. We won't be making that 3500 mile drive from Greenville, SC until after Labor Day though. Just trying to stay out of everyone's way :)


I'm heading back to Alaska again...this time with friends in a motor home (no tent camping this time!).
Along the way, we'll be spending several days each in Banff, Jasper, Denali, Olympic, Mt. Rainier, Crater Lake, Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Teddy Roosevelt.
We leave June 14, back sometime in late October...can't wait to get going!


Crater Lake in August. Reservations at the Lodge made. Also Redwoods in No. California.


Since I have to be on the East Coast in May, we're going to Shenandoah. Truthfully, the western parks are my favorites, but I think we'll still have a good time camping out. Hope we don't freeze.


Sadly, and for reasons somewhat out of my control, I'm probably going to have to limit my NPS consumption this year to local sites like Muir Woods NM, Golden Gate NRA, and Point Reyes NS.


National Park of American Samoa this summer. My wife is on a business trip there and I'll be joining her. I think it'll be a great adventure - as well as very tiring travel. Six hours to Hawaii, several hour layover, six further hours to Pago Pago.


Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Zion
