I've visited all 63 major US national parks. Here are 10 of my all-time favorites.

After traveling to all 63 major US national parks, places like Grand Teton, Acadia, Olympic, and Glacier National Park were some of my favorites.

Emily Hart has been to all 63 major US national parks. She considers Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming one of her top 10 favorites. This park features stunning jutting peaks, abundant wildlife, challenging hiking trails, and ample lakes for swimming and kayaking. Other favorites include Acadia National Park in Maine, known for its breathtaking ocean and lake views, and Olympic National Park in Washington, which is one of the most breathtaking places Hart has ever visited.

Glacier National Park in Montana has moved Hart to tears more than any other park. Yosemite National Park in California lives up to the hype with its massive granite walls, stunning waterfalls, and the peaceful Merced River. Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado, home to the largest sand dunes in North America, is another favorite.

Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska, although slightly controversial, offers a unique experience with glaciers and cruise ship tours.
