America’s National Parks make up some of the most stunning and attractive landscapes for tourists from around the country and around the world. They range from stunning, rocky coastal regions to the tallest mountains in the continent, include everything from swampland to deserts to glaciers.
Of course some parks tend to be more popular than others and some tend to be less popular. More popular parks aren’t necessarily any more beautiful or bountiful than the less popular parks, often just being more easily accessed than some of the more remote parks. Though it would be hard to argue that 2024’s most visited National Parks are anything but stunning.
