US National Parks

The United States has 63 national parks, and more are being added over time. I’m signed up for updates from the National Park Service, and it makes me happy to see new parks added every few years. So far, I’ve been to 31 of them, and I’m determined to visit them all.

Each park is special, like Canyonlands, where you can drive along the White Rim Road and marvel at the iconic landscapes, or Bryce Canyon, where I experienced the magic of seeing the first snowfall. And then there’s the Grand Canyon, where you can hike from rim to rim, taking in the breathtaking views along the way.

I love exploring these places and immersing myself in the beauty of nature.
