This was one of the most beautiful sunsets I've enjoyed in the National Park System. Sunset over Flat Mountain Arm of Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone National Park, by Kurt Repanshek.

So many parks, so many sunsets to revel in. In your travels across the National Park System, where did you come upon the most beautiful sunset of all?

Was it in Yosemite National Park, with the fleeting hues of daylight reflecting off of Half Dome? Or maybe it was on the shores of the Schoodic Peninsula at Acadia National Park, where you found yourself staring into the sun as it sank below the horizon.

Yellowstone National Park can have some beautiful sunsets, especially when they reflect off the hot springs, though the redrock of Arches and Canyonlands national parks seem to ignite under the setting sun.

Where was the best sunset you've seen in the parks?

Not a bad selection, Megaera, but we're going to have to ding you. The crater is a national monument managed by the U.S. Forest Service, not the National Park Service...;-)
