Pop quiz in late March as we wait for summer: Where is the most breathtaking view in the National Park System?
What would you say? Is it...
- Old Faithful erupting at Yellowstone National Park?
- Watching the "firefall" in Yosemite National Park?
- Gazing into the maw of Grand Canyon National Park from either rim?
- Standing on the lip of Halemaʻumaʻu crater during an eruption of Kīleaua in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park?
- Viewing sunrise from the summit of Haleakalā National Park?
- Looking up at Grand Canyon National Park from a float trip?
- The craggy horizon created by the Teton Range in Grand Teton National Park during sunrise?
- Delicate Arch in Arches National Park?
- Watching sunrise from Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park?
Those are just some of the possibilities. Give us your best thoughts!

Grand Teton Natl Park: Most breathtaking view, from just about anywhere in the Park.
Katmai Natl Park & Preserve: Most breathtaking experience, needing to step off the hiking trail so the Brown bear mama and 3 cubs can walk past you within 25 yards.
The most breathtaking view for me was in Denali National Park. We went on a tour of the glaciers and mountains in a small plane and landed on Ruth Glacier right below Mt. Denali. The view of the Ruth Glacier amphitheater was one of THE most beautiful things I have ever seen! It's huge, and almost undescribable because you just have to witness it in person!
The summer wildflower display at Mt. Rainier NP is unbelievablly beautiful!Z5
Flying over Denali on a sunlit day and landing on Ruth Glacier just below the peak.
Katmai NP watching the Grizzlies at Brooks Falls.
The view from the Keyhole on the way to Longs Peak.
Coming into the Jackson Hole Valley from Rt.26 near Moran. The panoramic view of the Tetons is jaw-dropping!
