There are many national parks in the United States, but none quite like Mesa Verde National Park. It does have amazing scenery, but the thing that makes this park unique versus the other parks is that it allows you to explore a civilization that lived here thousands of years ago.

Yellowstone was America’s first National Park and in my opinion, is one of the best. No matter whether you have 1 day here or 1 week, it is impossible to see and do everything at Yellowstone. I have been here three times now, spending almost a week each time and I still haven’t seen everything. Since there is so much to see and do, here are the top sights to see to help you plan your time here in Yellowstone National Park

The Redwoods National and State Parks on the Northern California coast is just one of the National Parks within California that offers massive redwood trees, hiking, and scenic drives. This national park is unique because it is made up of multiple different parks within a large area rather than one specific park. Typically Jedediah Smith Redwoods, Del Norte Coast Redwoods, Prairie Creek Redwoods State Parks, and Redwood National Park are thought to make up the collection of the Redwoods National and State Parks. Although the Humbodlt Redwoods State park is not technically within this park system, it is a great area to see Redwoods and is about an hour south and I will include it in my things to do. Even though there are multiple different parks to see, you can still see most of the parks in just a few days.
