Today, 61 national parks in the United States draw more than 300 million visitors a year to unique natural wonders and unforgettable terrains. Here is a list of some of the most popular national parks in the USA:
The 2.2 million-acre park of Yellowstone could easily stand on its own for its unique natural attractions and diverse geography. Travelers here get lost in the splendor of the many lakes, mountains, valleys and of its unmatched geysers and hot springs.
The Grand Canyon is one of those must-see destinations that have attracted visitors for generations. Looking beyond the canyon walls to an infinite horizon and unfathomable depth is one of the highlights of any trip to the United States. A visit to the Grand Canyon can easily be made on a day trip from Las Vegas or Phoenix.
Once home to breeders, farmers and leather hunters, the park now offers more than 200 miles of trails that wind through prairies, lakes and the park's most remarkable attribute, the jagged, snow-covered peaks of the Grand Teton mountain range.
