Today my favorites in order are:<BR>1)Badlands N Park<BR>2)Yellowstone N Park<BR>3)Grand Canyon<BR>But, going to see Arches, Canyonlands, Zion & Bryce this summer; so maybe I'll be changing my ranking.

My favorite is definitely Yosemite. There are so many beautiful waterfalls, the meadows, Mariposa grove, and just hiking there in general is such a treat. Second place is Zion and third will be the Great Smoky Mountains.

Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic NP is defintely up there with the best!

Yellowstone for it's diversity and wildlife. You have mud pots, geisers, forests, highlands, waterfalls, lakes, meadows, mountains etc. Whatever season you choose there are wonderful sights to see.
