I totally agree with Kevin's list. There's a few parks I have not been to due to the distance. I'll be excited to see you guys hike Denali, as that's one of the places I want to see from the base of it.
I’ve been to 4 national parks so far, badlands, new River, Gorge, mammoth cave, arch. So far my favorite is Badlands. I’d say it’s really underrated, the landscape and scenery is really nice! I’ll be revisiting the park In 2024. On top of that I’ll also be visiting Indiana dunes, Cuyahoga Valley, wind, cave, Theodore Roosevelt, and Shenandoah national park! I’m really stoked to be visiting this places! Should be a great time! 😊
We have been to 7 of the parks on your list and hope to see the other three one day, all seven were wonderful experiences; thanks for sharing , we have been to 18 parks in all
Heading to grand Teton and Yellowstone next week. I agree about Rocky Mountain. It really is a special place. Been there 3 times and honestly I compare every park to it.
In September 1975 my wife and I backpacked around Jenny Lake, Cascade Canyon up to Alaska Basin continuing along Death Canyon Shelf ending at Phelps Lake in 40 miles. We saw three giant bull moose and lots of other wildlife.
Interesting on Olympic! I love that park but RMNP has a special place for me since it’s the first national park I went to and because it’s the one I’ve explored the deepest (living in Denver)
@@KevinEassaI also rank Grand Canyon way lower than most. Preferred the views in Canyonlands and Dead Horse, although if you include Havasupai and the other falls areas then I get Grand Canyon being top 10.
Another great video! I did my list before I started your video and we agreed on 8 out of 10...not bad! I would say Yosemite is way more touristy than Yellowstone. When you consider how massive Yellowstone is yet there are only 2-3 really touristy spots (the ones you mentioned), that's really not alot. Been there 30+ times and only seen maybe 30-35% of the park, Love that place! Anyhow, great job again, looking forward to watching your other videos!
Thanks so much! And you’re right, I imagine Yosemite’s traffic is much more isolated into the valley where Yellowstone is so massive that most people go to only a few places. It’s been a few years since we’ve been to Yosemite so I’m sure it’s gotten crazier! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
It’s weird, I struggle making a list like this because for me crowds weigh against scenery (spending more time off the beaten path these days). I loved Big Bend because it’s incredibly less visited and all the roadrunners were hilarious. Regardless, all great choices, well done sir.
Totally, crowds can definitely take away from the experience. That might add to why I love RMNP so much, there’s not many driveable jaw dropping viewpoints. You have to work for it, and most people don’t make it a few miles past the trailhead. For us since we always start hiking in the dark for photography reasons, we typically can avoid the crowds until our hike out. Anyways, thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!
Kevin, beautiful video. May I point out that Glacier's Grinnell Glacier gets the accent on syllable #2--grin-ELL, just like the small city in Iowa? Also, for the record, Kaibab = KYE-bab, rather than -bob.
As much as I'd love to do that, I don't think I've explored enough state parks in the country to do this without bias. Most of the winners (currently) would be in the western half of the country, solely because I've seen more state parks there. But maybe one day! I have a top 10 Utah state parks if you haven't seen that one
I know it does! I've thoroughly explored it, just not necessarily 'state parks.' I actually grew up in Maryland and spent my first 20 some years there before traveling full time!
I live on the east coast and I’ve never been to a national park before, hell I’ve actually never really left the east coast. I’m planning on flying out to one of the major national parks but haven’t decided which one. I’m looking to stay/lodge in or very close to the park itself if possible.
Hey Kevin, when your in Glacier National park you may as well bring your passport with you and head north into Canada to Banff for more of the awesome Rockies.
Absolutely!! I think I’ve been to Glacier 4 times, and 3 of those I went to Canada after. The Canadian Rockies are my favorite place in the world, although funny enough we still haven’t been to Waterton just over the border haha
Love this video! We think alike. Here are my rankings from the parks I’ve been to. 1. Zion 2. Glacier 3. Yosemite 4. Yellowstone 5. Grand Canyon 6. Mount Rainier 7. Capitol Reef 8. Olympic 9. Bryce Canyon 10. Arches 11. Grand Tetons 12. Canyonlands 13. Lassen Volcanic 14. Great Sand Dunes 15. Sequoia 16. Kings Canyon 17. Crater Lake 18. Death Valley 19. Great Smoky Mountains 20. North Cascades 21. Everglades 22. Mammoth Cave 23. Glacier Bay 24. Mesa Verde 25. Shenandoah
@KevinEassa Absolutely! If you haven't done the Alum cave trail all the way up to mount LeConte there, it's a must.. It's the best trail I've ever done in my life. I'm going back in September to do it again.
Honestly I'm not sure, that is so annoying. I haven't heard a word of this except from you, if there's a way to report that number please do. But I don't know where to. If they comment on any of my videos I'll be sure to report them. Thanks for letting me know, I'm sorry they are doing that
@@KevinEassa Look at the bright side. I've seen now thanks to your channel that there's also pretty parts of your country. Up until now I've only seem some bits on it on two business trips and experienced the really nasty border control people. Seeing your video makes me wonder if I should come as a tourist.

Definitely some awesome choices here! All gorgeous parks for sure. Bryce Canyon is another great one!
I love Bryce, thank you for watching!
I live 2 hours away from Yosemite National Park. That park is magnificent. I attempt to go there every year
That's incredible, it's been years since I've been. I'd love to go back
What a great list! I've been to 9 out the 10, and the one I'm missing, Mt.Ranier, I'm visiting this summer.
Thank you!! That’s amazing, Rainier is so special, I hope you have a great trip
So many parks!! I wish Yosemite wasn’t so far away. We need to get back there. Awesome video Kev!
Same here, it feels like it’s been ages since we went. Gotta hike Half Dome and El Cap one of these days
I totally agree with Kevin's list. There's a few parks I have not been to due to the distance. I'll be excited to see you guys hike Denali, as that's one of the places I want to see from the base of it.
Denali looks so beautiful, hopefully we can make it to Alaska one day. Thanks for watching!!

Shenandoah is very beautiful definitely do old rag mountain hike
@@grandpatouchy8675 I just did that hike recently, and it's amazing!
This is on my medium range list time wise. Great vid. Perfect to prep for these visits!
Thank you! I hope you have some great trips!
Masterfully put together my friend! Amazing work here!
Thank you so much!!
I just love this!! I wish we had parks like this in our country!! I am from india.
So beautiful. More reasons to go out and road tripping
Absolutely, always a good time for a road trip
I swear every video gets better than the last!!!
Thanks homie!

good work for knowledge
In September 1975 my wife and I backpacked around Jenny Lake, Cascade Canyon up to Alaska Basin continuing along Death Canyon Shelf ending at Phelps Lake in 40 miles. We saw three giant bull moose and lots of other wildlife.
Almost my exact list, except I have Yellowstone, Yosemite, Glacier 1-2-3 in that order and Olympic in the top 10 over Rocky Mountain.
Interesting on Olympic! I love that park but RMNP has a special place for me since it’s the first national park I went to and because it’s the one I’ve explored the deepest (living in Denver)

Nice and thorough list but I feel like Olympic National Park is missing …
I’ve been fortunate to make 6 of these and hope I get to at least 3 more of these. Really would like to visit ones I’ve been to again.
I hope you get to see them all! The parks are so amazing

Get up at 6AM and usually far less people

How about top 10 state parks next? Porkies is my favorite!!👌

@@KevinEassa You're missing out. The eastern part of the country has some jewels too!!
I know it does! I've thoroughly explored it, just not necessarily 'state parks.' I actually grew up in Maryland and spent my first 20 some years there before traveling full time!
Hey, nice video, but how about Olympic, it should be in top 5

I rank all 5 Utah parks over the Grand Canyon and I've even rafted the GC.
Song?
Dude, you need to go to Alaska.
One of these days, I really hope so
Love this video! We think alike. Here are my rankings from the parks I’ve been to.
1. Zion
2. Glacier
3. Yosemite
4. Yellowstone
5. Grand Canyon
6. Mount Rainier
7. Capitol Reef
8. Olympic
9. Bryce Canyon
10. Arches
11. Grand Tetons
12. Canyonlands
13. Lassen Volcanic
14. Great Sand Dunes
15. Sequoia
16. Kings Canyon
17. Crater Lake
18. Death Valley
19. Great Smoky Mountains
20. North Cascades
21. Everglades
22. Mammoth Cave
23. Glacier Bay
24. Mesa Verde
25. Shenandoah
I was betting Great Smokys was in the top 10 but it got an honorable mention so I was close 😅
We need to explore more of the Smoky Mountains!
@KevinEassa Absolutely! If you haven't done the Alum cave trail all the way up to mount LeConte there, it's a must.. It's the best trail I've ever done in my life. I'm going back in September to do it again.
@@nickbryant6970 we have not, thank you!
Are you part Lebanese by any chance?
Yes I am!
@@KevinEassa Haha damn I’m good . The last name and some of your facial features gave it away . Also being Lebanese myself helped a bit 😂
Idk, I feel like Pikes Peak is the most famous 14er in the state of Colorado.
Good chalnel
Thank you!
Hawaii? Alaska??
Ya bro you Fosho not supposed to be on that side of the canyon
This video is also going to exclude St John and American Samoa 😉
Fair enough!
Even if you include Wrangell-St. Elias, they are all rather small national parks? 8 million acres? .. tsk tsk .. tiny ...
There's some scammers promising you $20 to follow this channel and then attempt identity theft
Who is doing that?? Please report them
@@KevinEassa to whom? I've got an Indian WhatsApp number and a telegram account and that's it.
