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.

Same picks as PeterB above, but a month earlier in July - Crater Lake and Redwoods. My wife and I both have never been to the northwest (we live in St. Louis). Although we will be staying west of the Lake in Union Creek. Will gladly take advantage of the amenities at the Lodge as a day-tripper, however. ;)
Linda & Alex, will we see you there? :D
Hey Sparky,
Glad to see a fellow St Louisan on here! I was born and raised there myself, in the inner city, my folks and our oldest daughter are still in the area (St Charles County). Have a wonderful time at Crater Lake, that one is still on our bucket list!
Taking my 7 year old Grandson to Yellowstone. His first National Park Visit.
Headed to Cape Lookout and Cape Hatteras National Seashores, Ft. Raleigh National Historical Park, and Wright Brothers National Memorial in September. And as always, Grand Teton and Yellowstone all summer long.
Definitely Sequoia/Kings Canyon. Hopefully Olympic. Probably Joshua Tree. And many more possiblities incluiding Zion come fall.
I'll be moving to Los Angeles in August/September. I'm looking forward to hitting up Joshua Tree and Death Valley ASAP--hopefully this year. Will be great to be so close to Sequoia/Kings Canyon and Yosemite too!
Looks like this summer I'll also be spending a lot of time at Lake Powell as my fiance is now working at Bull Frog. He has access to kayaks so I'm looking for some great trips that he and I can take from the Bullfrog Marina. I'm an experienced kayaker but he is not so be easy on us!
My husband and I will be visiting Death Valley and Joshua Tree National Parks this May!
