Of those four my favorite is probably Olympic, it's just so large and has everything from alpine glaciers to temperate rainforests and coastal cliffs. However these parks are so large, and I have only scratched the surface of these parks.
One of the best in the world for birdwatching is Taman Negara, in peninsular Malaysia, which is accessible only by a couple of hours ride on a riverboat and has no motor vehicles.

My Top 10...
10) La Campana National Park, Chile...I like this park for the potential views from the top on a clear day when you can see the Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Western and Southern hemispheres, and the Pacific Ocean.
9) Colca Canyon, Peru...makes the Grand Canyon seem mediocre.
8) North Cascades National Park, Washington, USA...it reminds me of the Argentine Lake District i.e. incredibly beautiful. There is a ton of rugged hiking in the Cascade mountains with a lot of peace and quiet.
7) Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, USA
6)Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada...it is just like North Cascades NP just more beautiful.
5) Fiordland National Park, New Zealand...New Zealand's largest national park and arguably most beautiful park.
4) Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado, USA...it is hard to put the experience into words. It is basically a massive sandbox with incredible scenery.
3) Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal...it's home to some of the highest mountains in the world, including the highest, Mount Everest.
2) Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska, USA...this park is massive and home to the epic Mount St. Elias (pictured) which isn't one of the highest mountains in the world, but it is one of the tallest mountains in the world rising over 18,000 feet from base to summit.
1) Central Karakoram National Park, Pakistan...In my opinion, it is the most beautiful place on earth, and if this part of the world wasn't so crazy and unstable, I'd be on my way to explore.
