5Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, California
Both of these national parks are the protected homes of some of the planet’s largest and oldest trees. Yes, other national parks are higher up the list when it comes to camping or hiking, but where else can you stand right in front of a giant sequoia tree that is over 3,200 years old? These US parks, roughly a four-hour drive from either Los Angeles or San Francisco, make it easy to imagine what the planet was like when nature ruled, and mankind was of no impact. Indeed, these towering trees grow this tall only in a couple of places on the planet, and these two parks include the best and the largest of them.

Acadia National Park is my absolute favorite !!
Hi!
I’m not surprised! It has made more than one “top” or “best of” list. I have personally written about it a few times.
Thanks for your support and your comment!
My favorit is the#16 Bryce canyon.
Hi!
I might agree but having hiked the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim with my dad and a small group of other scouts, I have a special place for the Grand Canyon National Park myself. But, yes, Bryce is beautiful and makes many different lists, for sure!
