Reader Participation Day: If Cost Were No Object, Which National Park Would You Visit?

If cost weren't an issue, would you head to Crystal Lake in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve? Photo copyright QT Luoug, www.terragalleria.com/parks, used with permission.

We all harbor pipe dreams, ambitions that are so far out there they can best be described as dreams. With 392 units in the National Park System, it certainly can be considered a pipe dream to visit each one. But let's turn dreams to realities. If you could visit only one, which would it be?

That's right. If someone were willing to pay all your expenses, which unit of the National Park System would you choose to visit? I've long had a trip to Alaska on my to-do list, with a visit to either Wrangell-St. Elias or Lake Clark national parks. But then, visiting Hawaii Volcanoes would be nice, too, as would a canoe trip in Voyageurs National Park.

So, where would you head and why?

Kurt, I'm all for Alaska. When we going?


Haleakala!!!


Gates of the Arctic or Wrangels St. Elias!


I've seen the Arizona Memorial and the various memorials of D.C. Crater Lake, Rainier, Olympic are all local to me. I will visit American Samoa later this year. With those eliminated I would have to say that Alaska's parks call to me the most.


Isle Royale, then Glacier.


I would either go Alaska or American Samoa. There are other parks that are higher on my to do list but the cost to visit them is alot less.


We'll be visiting Denali, Wrangell and Kenai in just a couple of months and that's my dream come true. My next "dream" park would be Katmai.


Alaska parks are tempting, but the weather would make up for the lack of wild life in Hawaii with Volcanoes NP, Kaloko NP, Haleakala NP, etc.
