The 100th anniversary of the US National Parks got me thinking. What are the best parks that people have visited? And I think we can be generous with the definition. I'll start the list: Yosemite – US
Connemara – Ireland
Iguazu – Brazil/Argentina/Paraguay |

Been to a majority of the Natl Parks and just came back from Glacier. It is the most impressive and I was just in Grand Tetons,and Yellowstone last year. |

If you get to visit only 1 park – make it Yellowstone. I have been to Glacier, Yosemite and others, but nothing compares to Yellowstone. |

Yellowstone blows everything away … or it will do one day. |

Another nod to hiking the AT through the Smokies. Good Ol' Rocky Top! |

It's The Great Smoky Mountains. No 'e' in Smoky. Smokies as a plural, or a baseball team, no problem. Smokey the preventer of wildfires, Smokey the bluetick coonhound mascot of the University of Tennessee, fine. |

The only time I remember seeing a comet was in the late 60s at the Spence Field shelter. Away from any city lights, it was amazing. |

Yellowstone – first and best
Redwood National and State Parks

John Pennekamp State Park – the park is an underwater coral reef Waiotapu – almost every geothermic feature of Yellowstone, in a compact, walkable area
Maungatautari (Sanctuary Mountain) – incredible virgin forest sanctuarymountain.co.nz Parc Güell – one look at Gaudí's architecture, and you understand where Dr. Sues got his inspiration Banff National Park Rick |

Can I chime in with another vote for Denali? |
