Favorite National Park you have visited

I love the American parks so much that I recently purchased this piece of nerdery for my office. The stickers are the 18 parks I've visited so far (Hot Springs is the most recent edition). Forgive the shitty pic, I clearly CARE about this shit butt not enough to go back and get you guys a better pic.
I plan on hitting three Florida parks in June and then the 9 Cali parks and a few others the following summer.
So which NP is your favorite and why? Feel free to wry tin your thoughts on others.

Yellowstone - BRB, Old FaithfulObviously limiting to 10 options means I had to leave off a few deserving ones like Grand Tetons, Rocky Mountain, Sequoyah, Bryce Canyon, North Cascades (highly underrated) and all the Hawaiian and Alaskan parks. Fup Vanilla!

Glacier - Bobby Hauck and Jeff Choate KGBeen to most of these, Glacier was by far my favorite.

Glacier is gorgeous. All I've done is the Going to the Sun drive and only once since I was old enough to recall it and that as a teenager. I need to spend some real tim in the park.backthepack said:Been to most of these, Glacier was by far my favorite.

Yellowstone - BRB, Old FaithfulI damn near went with Arches but I've really only spent about two hours there. Dad and I snuck in real quick on on our way back from the Grand Canyon a couple years ago. The little bit i saw was spectacular. The road heading northeast out of Moab (on the east side of the Colorado river) that's just outside the park is gorgeous as well.

The hiking is amazing. We went on an 10 mile round trip hike to a Glacial Lake that was the most stunning thing I have ever seen.dnc said:

My dad is a bit a finicky guy I guess and we obsessed with bear spray the entire time we were there. He kept the bear spray canister in a holster thing around his waist. So we get this lake and I hear something that sounds like a gun shot. I turn around and my dad’s shorts are just covered in red. I thought he got shot because he was screaming in pain. Well it turns out my dad bent over to sit on a rock and somehow accidentally triggered the bear spray canister. It exploded all over his shorts and balls. I’ve never seen a man run faster into freezing cold water in my life. He had to hike the 5 miles back to our car, complaining the entire way of course. It got all over his junk, I can’t imagine how painfully that would be. He smelled of hot peppers for a week and had red spots all over his legs for 2 months. That’s my favorite family vacation by far. CSB. -

Wyoming homer. I assume @UW_Doog_Bot will agree.YellowSnow said:
I will say my first visit to the WY parks I was surprised how awesome the Tetons were since they get so little love compared to big brother up north.

Honestly, can't pick a favorite. They are all magnificent or they wouldn't be National Parks.dnc said:

So is most of the list. I've been everywhere man except Zion -

My favorite experience in any park was at Rainier rather easily. One of my favorite moments of my life on a hike with Pops at sunset at Sunrise (TSB!).RaceBannon said:Mt Rainier was a home game and I['ve been there a million times but it truly is spectacular

No shame in taking Rainier, at all. -

You got to see them in the glory days. Sadly, so many of these places have been overrun by mobs of tourists. You can't even drive a car into Yosemite Valley or Bryce anymore. Everything is on a shuttle bus.RaceBannon said:Mt Rainier was a home game and I['ve been there a million times but it truly is spectacular

Grand Canyon was the only one I visited that was chinsanely crowded when I was there but even that dwindled down quite a bit the further west you went on the shuttle. I haven't been to any of the western parks since 07 though except GC, Arches and Petrified Forest.YellowSnow said:

OtherLike @dnc, I'm chintrigued and fascinated by the national parks. Mrs Nacho plan to drive to some in 2021 (we'd fly but it's really embarrassing to have to ask for two seat belt extenders).
I think I've been to 4: Rainier, Olympic, Rocky Mountain there's at least 1 more. Rocky Mountain wins because my wife's cousin goes into the bathroom which is really just a permanent honey bucket (FREE PUB for Honey Bucket Butt Fuck! @DerekJohnson RIP @DeLarry) and proceeds to drop her cell phone in the toilet. She then comes out and asks the Park Ranger if there's a way to get it out. He just stared at her. -

Glacier - Bobby Hauck and Jeff Choate KGWould’ve considered voting for Grand Teton but here we are. Glacier and it’s not even close. Yellowstone is spectacular but overrun with tourists. I always root for the wildlife to kill/maim as many as possible. Actually I think that holds true for outside of national parks, too.

I’ve been to rocky mountain 15+ times, it’s super cool. Plus Estes Park is kinda cool. Kinda funny but I was with my dad there about 2 years ago. We saw this super ripped fashionable ripped lumberjack dude with this women who was botox’d to the gills. They looked way out of place. As pup would say he was metro but he was masquerading as a TUFF mountain man. Funny enough we see the same guy in Maryland at the Montgomery Mall (visiting family) a year later. It made a lot of sense tbh. CSB I know.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:Like @dnc, I'm chintrigued and fascinated by the national parks.

I was expecting old man Fudgie to look back at the couple and say "look at the ass on that" and you to say, "yeah, he must work out".backthepack said:
