Most spectacular National Park?

I love to travel the world with a blend of God's beauty in both foreign culture and natural splendor.
I have yet to find a national park of didn't enjoy. What is your favorite and why?
Mine include

1) Bryce Canyon - hiking among the Hoodoos as the sunrises!
2) Zion - that drive, the hike in the Narrows!
3) Yellowstone - in the winter, blanketed by snow, fumaroles, bubbling mud pots, bison!
4) Glacier - that drive!
5) Arches - that drive! Dleicate Arch at sunset!
6)Canadian Provincial Park BANFF - the LAKES!

Today my favorites in order are:
1)Badlands N Park
2)Yellowstone N Park
3)Grand Canyon
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.

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.
