Favorites from 300 Park Sites

/ bigdiff

I’ve recently completed visits to 3/4 of the 424 national park units, and I have a couple updates to my first 100 favorites.

Alas Agate, Dinosaur is the best fossil site.

Move over Grant, the best Presidential home—not including the White House—is Sagamore Hill.

Shiloh keeps the best battle tour, but Gettysburg has the best Civil War museum.

My second 100 favorites still hold. Now, here are some my new favorites from my most recent 100 visits.

Best bicycling: Cuyahoga.

Best cliff dwellings: Mesa Verde.

Best colonial era park is, uh, Colonial.

Best fort: Castillo de San Marco.

Best geologic feature: Arches (see photo) or Natural Bridges.

Best place to learn geology: Capitol Reef.

Best kayaking: Big Thicket.

Best snow day: Zion.

Best trees: Great Basin.
