Reader Participation Survey: Help Us Name the Top 100 National Park Locations to See Before You Die

Earlier this week we touched on the national parks mentioned in the book, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die. Somehow, Mammoth Cave National Park didn't make the cut, and if you've been there, you know it should have. Help us compile a list of the top 100 national park locations to see before you die. We'll start the list.

Reader Participation Day: Where's Your Favorite National Park Cabin?

If I'm not sleeping in a tent in a national park, the next best place is a cabin, preferably a log cabin.

Which cabins are your favorites when it comes to visiting the national parks?

Reader Participation Day: A Two-Fer, Mixing Thanksgiving With Year-End Holidays

Reader Participation Day: What's the Most Important Part of Your National Park Trip?

There are so many components that go into a successful national park escape.

What's most important in your estimation to a successful park trip?

Reader Participation Survey: What Was Your Most Fascinating National Park Interpretive Program?

Across the National Park System you'll encounter some pretty incredible interpretive programs. In Virgin Islands National Park there are underwater trails. At Mammoth Cave and Sequoia national parks you can go on a "wild cave" tour. Let fellow travelers know which national park interpretive programs you've found to be extraordinary.

Reader Participation Day: Is Your Guidebook Actually Bound, Or Do You Prefer Pixels?

How do you navigate your national park visits? Are you someone who needs to actually experience the tactility of a printed and bound guidebook, one with pages that can be dog-eared, notated, cluttered with Post-its, and tossed into the backseat when you're done with it? Or are you right at home with a digital guidebook, whether the material is displayed on an iPhone, iPod, iPod touch, or some similar digital media device?
