I really like Arches, Rocky Mountain N.P., Shanendoah, and the Badlands. I like every national park I have been too. They are all different and unique that it is hard to pick favorites. I really need to get to Glacier.

I was going to vote Yosemite - which is probably the most beautiful valley in America. But then I changed my mind to Yellowstone.

Yellowstone seems to have more elbow room than Yosemite. But more importantly it is America's answer to the Serengeti. Herds of elk, Pronghorn antelopes and even Bison have room to roam here. Grizzly & black bears, Cougars, wolves, coyotes, Moose, Bald & Golden eagles and Bighorn sheep are all here.

Not to mention Yellowstone is right next to Grand Teton National Park - home to some of the beautiful mountians in the USA.

Hmm, I voted for Yosemite, but really meant Yosemite/Kings Canyon/Sequoia, as they are all adjacent to each other and contain some of the most stunning mountainous scenery in the country (Yosemite Falls, Mount Whitney, the largest trees on earth).

The most popular national park in terms of actual attendance in the country is the Great Smoky Mountains in Tenn/NC. Why didn't you list it?

I voted Yellowstone, but I could have said "other". The adirondacks are truly awesome as well. The best mountains in the eastern half of the US hands down
