      Olympic is incredible
      Gorgeous mountains, moss covered rain forests, and tide pools filled with critters all in the same park. Also whales and sea otters that can be spotted offshore

        The biggest miracle is that you found a day in Olympic NP where it wasn't raining all day.

        It really depends on what you like to do. Personally, I don't mind the crowds. I've been to about 30 National Parks and Monuments in the US. I'd easily say Yosemite would be the most overall impressive. Driving through the tunnel into Yosemite and seeing the valley for the first time was unbelievable. The view from Glacier point is the best view I've ever seen in my life. The main hikes can get crowded, but they are indescribably beautiful. Unless you get really far into the backcountry, you will have to deal with a lot of people on the main trails and at the viewpoints. It's one of the few places I've ever visited that surpassed my expectations. I've been back 4 times.

        That's what it felt like. We saw around 35-40 bears in a span of 3 hours. I've never seen so many fricking bears in my life.
        Note the two bears in the background.

        This fatty is the biggest one we saw. He couldn't even walk properly, he had to maneuver his back legs around his giant belly

          How the frick do they get so big? Is the fish that plentiful?

            The ones in that part of the park (a saltwater marsh) congregate there for two reasons: the grass is nutritious, and there are mollusks buried in the sand that the bears can smell and dig up for. I'm not sure if it got fat off of just that or fish as well, but probably both.
            The one downside is that there are giant piles of bear shit everywhere so you have to watch your step

    As a pure spectacle, the Grand Canyon. As a place to spend multiple days soaking it in, Yosemite.

    Either Glacier or Grand Canyon, both for their own reasons. I cannot really pick between the two.

    Tongariro, Kruger, Milford Sound, Yoho, Yellowstone, Crater Lake are all great too.

    Impressive? Grand canyon. But favorite is probably Joshua Tree or Acadia

    Plitvice National Park in Croatia is kino; the one with all the waterfalls. Fricking epic.

    Not sure if it's National Park status - given its Albania - but the northern mountains, too. Theth Valbona hike is extremely beautiful.

      I'll second Plitvice lakes. Tara River Canyon is second for me.

    Badlands was impressive, especially because of how few people were there.

    If I had to pick a single one as the BEST: Probably Banff CA

    Fairly close behind that: Yosemite US, Jasper CA

    Below that, still amazing: Taroko TW, Yoho CA, Grand Canyon US

    Then: Zion US

    Then: Joshua Tree US, Lake District GB

    Finally: Bryce Canyon US, Peak District GB, Cairngorms GB, Dartmoor GB, The Broads GB

    National Parks is an interesting catagory to compare across countries.

        British actually.

        Canadian national parks are simply more impressive than those south of the border. Bigger, cleaner, more "wow". With the important caveat the weather is much less reliable.

          You clearly haven't been to any national parks in Alaska
          They are all enormous and pristine wilderness

    >American getting rattled up and defensive about their parks
    Happens every time
    Cape Breton highlands is my favourite followed by Banff. Yosemite probably would have been up there but my travel partner got sick and we could do our planned hike so we just stuck to the mega tourist area. Still pretty great.

    Grand Canyon. It's a must see if you're in the area. It's one of those places where pictures don't do it justice. It must been seen in person to appreciate the immense beauty.

    What's our opinion on Acadia? Thinking of going this summer (Europoor).

      I'm sure Arcadia is nice, but you can do more impressive National Parks on the cheap. Look at Utah. Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, Arches, Cedar Breaks and Escalante are all amazing. You can camp on any BLM land in Utah for free. There are literally 1000's of free spots for camping. You could fly in and out of Salt Lake City or Las Vegas and rent a car. Go to dick's sporting goods and get a $50 tent, a $50 sleeping bag and a $50 cot. Best trip ever.

        Great suggestion but isn't Utah scorching in the summer? That's when I'd go for this trip.

        I've previously been to Yellowstone, The Grand Tetons and Badlands and loved it.

          I would do Utah in Late September or early October for better weather. If it has to be a summer trip, you could do Colorado. Fly in and out of Denver and do a loop through the mountains and hit all the ski towns and parks. You can literally google "best ski towns in Colorado" and just turn it into a loop. Every ski town has a lift you can take the top and do some epic hiking or mountain biking. The small towns in Colorado are some of the most beautiful in the world. Telluride, Ouray, Vail and Breckenridge are all fricking amazing.
