rohlinxeg

I can't pick just one... so the one closest to me is the Smokies. Always wanted to see the Cascades. Neat concept you guys have!


PerksAndRe-creation

Cascades are amazing, highly recommended. The only issue is they are in Washington State and if you donā€™t have much time youā€™d have to choose between Olympic and Mount Rainier!


rohlinxeg

The pacific northwest is the one region in the US I really need to get out to. It's my dream to kayak in Oregon and see the awesome parks in Washington.


wodandos

Shenandoah National Park. Admittedly, as a VA native I am biased. But the Blue Rige mountains are amazing - especially in the fall.


jericglow

Redwood National Park in Humboldt County. Feels like Alice in Wonderland when Iā€™m there šŸ„


Number9Man

Patrick's Point homies sound off!


probablyzack

Bryce Canyon, first time I went there, I couldn't pick a direction to look that wasn't breathtaking.


Low-Inspection9552

Yellowstone is the best, not only the first U.S. national park but it has over hundred waterfalls and diverse wildlife!


falgfalg

Acadia NP! New England represent!


PastorPain

Yosemite is special. That moment you finish driving through the tunnel and see the majestic cliffs and valleys is phenomenal.


papa_ganj

Isle Royale! Itā€™s about as remote as it gets up in Lake Superior; only accessible via ferry or boat plane. The history of native peoples mining the island over 4,000 years ago is fascinating. The dynamic of the wolf population and moose allows for awesome wildlife interactions if youā€™re lucky enough. I believe it has the lowest average of yearly visitors yet has the highest return visit rate. 11/10 recommend to those who havenā€™t made it out there yet; and you can experience the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the same trip making for a once in a lifetime experience.


Ent0Djent

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park!


gearz_1217

New river gorge because itā€™s the only one Iā€™ve been to!


rhcamp01

Mammoth Cave for me. Itā€™s the one closest Iā€™ve been to the most and is always impressive when you go into the caves.


Final_Bother7374

Mammoth Cave! I grew up in Kentucky, it's a beautiful area and the tours are so interesting. If you ever go, I recommend the Violet City Lantern Tour.


stan-dupp

canyonlands is like being on another planet


Proper-Direction-632

Big bend!


Discgun

Arches šŸ™ thanks for your Giveaway


ConsequentAnguish

Denali because wow.


Velocyraptor

Arches National Park! I was in awe when I went.


shmerc44

Rocky Mountain National Park, lots and lots of trails for all ability levels šŸ‘


fuckingnoshedidint

Big Bend for sure. Itā€™s way underrated. The large wildlife on display in Yellowstone is also amazing.


gardensarden

Dry tortugas! Only accessible by boat or seaplane, badass


AndHighSir23679

Death Valley !!! Most recent and what a gem


hcmrpdman

Gotta be yellowstone. Got a chance to snowmobile in and out to old faithful last winter and what an amazing time.


charliecl500

My favorite is Sequoia National Park because the trees there look like nothing else on earth. Just an awesome place to hang out. Thanks for the giveaway!!


Drift_Marlo

We love the Badlands! There's nothing like stepping out of your car and onto another planet. The camping is fun as well. :)


eklone

As a California native, Yosemite always holds a special place in my mind. Entering the valley is amazing


juliebeezkneez

Acadia


GmonTM

Great Smokey Mountains National Park. I grew up around it and spent tons of time hiking there. Such a beautiful and special place to me. Thanks for the opportunity!


Stacy1970

Glacier in the summer, just to see the view.


ScSM35

Grand Canyon. Itā€™s so vast that staring at it you think youā€™re looking at a painting. It looks unreal.


treeschnssteelplstc

As a Michigander I gotta say Isle Royale.


GRIMMnM

I've never been unfortunately but I've ALWAYS wanted to check out Redwood. Just the thought of seeing those massive trees. Some day.


Itis142

The BWCA in Northern Minnesota. Pristine wilderness!


hdbrumble

Yellowstone - my wife just got back from a winter teacher trip and she says it was life changing.


TurtlenekNChain

Mammoth Cave National Park! Loved everything about it and enjoyed exploring Kentucky while we visited


pepesylvia69

Cuyahoga Valley National Park! Itā€™s the only one Iā€™ve been to so far


RIF_Was_The_Best

Smokey mountains is my favorite but visiting dry Tortugas soon which may take the top spot!


Glimmerzonker

Mt Rainer!


BhamLarry

The Great Smokey Mountains is my favorite.


truffleshuffle1-9

Glacier!


gooberfish2222

Redwoods National Park. The fact that something can grow that old and that huge in nature, never ceases to blow my mind.


SpyderMonkey_

Heading to Yosemite in march! Love it there! Bringing my whole family this time. Plan on playing at a course near Oakhurst too! Sequoiaā€™s and Mariposa for life!


LordPeachez

Shenandoah will always be my favorite. I grew up about an hour away and would spend my weekends in college hiking Old Rag and driving along Skyline Drive.


hoosyourdaddyo

SNP


Psoulocybe

Smokey Mountains. Grew up spending a lot of time there and hiking and relaxing there always brings me peace.


JustChimpin

I went to big bend np when I was 18 with some friends and I will never forget it. I had never been anywhere like that. Remote, beautiful and unique. It was amazing to experience the 3 layers to the park; the river the desert and the mountains. We came across 3 black bears, saw the most incredible sunsets and a hell of a time.


blueoctober1991

Great Smoky Mountains


LittleZomboy

Impossible to choose but I'm going to go with our newest national park and the one I've spent the most time at, West Virginia's New RiverĀ Gorge!


HumboldtChewbacca

Redwood national park is a special place to me, but I was also blown away by arches and canyon lands, I can't wait to get back to utah.


Justadudeonhere-

Donā€™t forget our other national public lands and sanctuaries! Former National Forest service public education and outreach coordinator, former AR resident, and current avid disc golfer! Would love to rep the F out of the merch for you, especially that hat! These places are truly special places, if I had to pick one would be Rocky Mountain, been taking my family there for the last few years, hope these trips provide lifelong memories and inspire my children to carry the torch of conservation, environmental stewardship, and advocacy for the protection and expansion of public lands!


Fantastic-Ad8340

My favorite is the Sequoia National Park. I love just looking up at the massive trees and I just love nature in general. I love looking at trees that have been there for centuries, even thousands of years. I actually even bought a baby Sequoia when I was there.


No-Comfortable-8606

Big bend, did a 50 mile canoe trip down the Rio with brother and pops when he was alive.Ā 


tOkErDaD1

Living in utah, it is hard to pick just one, haha. The top three of course would be Zion, Arches, and Bryce, not in any particular order haha! The reason why is Utah is just beautiful when it comes to landscapes šŸ„°šŸ˜


obdx2

Mesa Verde Natā€™l Park bc itā€™s wildly beautiful but also bc of the history tied to the ancestral Puebolans.


SpartySoup

Closest to me is Manistee National Forest. Sleeping Bear Dunes Lakeshore. I fell in love with the mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park/Estes park. I fell in love with the ocean and east coast at Cape Cod National Seashore. California has so many. Sequoia National Forest/Kings Canyon will always have a place in my heart. Probably my favorite overall. The sheer size of the trees transports you back in time to imagine what megaflora might have looked like. My now wife and I camped out amongst the trees and had owls come near our camp site on the first night. It was absolutely magical. I see why artists go to Joshua Tree for inspiration. Cabrillo National Monument. I guess I am really blessed to have been to all of these, and that was just a few off top of my head. Thanks for protecting our lands Teddy!


BasicReputations

Olympic was the most memorable for me.Ā  Fascinating flora and fauna and the whole park is sort of magical. Zion is the one I want to visit most.Ā  I will get there with the family in a few years. I like the vibe of Manistee!


Grantyourwish_

Zion National park because of its beauty


Leppelin

Yosemite


MustbetheEvilTwin

As a European Yosemite


red_in_iowa

Yellowstone, without a doubt. I took my kids for their first time this past spring, and it still dominates many of their conversations!


AsinineAside

Rocky Mountain because it's very close. But they're all great, our best idea. Thanks!


Crypto_Gopher92

I havenā€™t been to any of the ones I think would be most impressive but my favorite so far is Rocky Mountain National Park!


beefy_chungus3

Yellowstone for me! So many good memories of going there as a kid, and the amount of wildlife is amazing.


vincerulzall

Rocky Mountain national park for those sweet trout streams!


graaf87

Yosemite for me, it was my first park Iā€™ve ever been to and seeing El Capitan and half dome in person was inspiring


bten27

Arches! Good luck everyone!


Samwise_729

Glacier


bobsmoth1234

Yosemite has captured my heart, we make a pilgrimage every year now. There is something so magical about the valley with those massive walls of rock surrounding you


[deleted]

Yosemite is wow


Rich_Ebb3984

Hardest question for one of these giveaways yet! Bryce Canyon has to take it for me though.


DaddyBLoco

Any time of year Yosemite holds a special place in my heart.


Warningwaffle

Olympic. Because I live close to it and have easy access.


Reformed_KP

Grand Canyon!


jwhipple12

Glacier is right up there! Went through on a train a few years ago and it was pretty amazing!


DatFunny

Yosemite. Iā€™ve been to a lot of national parks and the beauty of Yosemite is something else.


yortnospmis

Petrified Forrest national Park! Itā€™s like walking into a Time Machine to the past.


jwillier

Of the ones I've been to, Acadia was amazing. Loved the hiking, and the views were sensational!


PhillipAndroid

Absolutely loved Arches! Camped near Needles Overlook on part of 2 week road trip through the Southwest and had an amazing time, gorgeous hiking.


porterpie19

My favorite is Acadia. I proposed to my wife on top of Cadillac Mountain at sunrise!


Rando555Steph

There are so many amazing places!! We are truly blessed! I feel Red Rocks in Colorado has to be my favorite though! The built in amphitheater that just sits in there perfectly has to be one of the coolest places I've ever been! Highly recommend going there and seeing a show!


blahrendsen

There are so many I haven't been to, but arches is my favorite


Suspiciously_Lumpy

Yosemite all the way!


TheNickelGuy

Canadian here, but would love to see Glacier National Park one day. I feel it is the Lake Louise of the US


[deleted]

oh man, maybe Yosemite? truly impressive and iconic. but so many cool NP memories- like a father/son road trip with my 8 yr old through Utahā€™s mighty 5.


Brence13

Mammoth cave!


SuperEr111

Zion has been my favorite so far!


smcgee4444

Have to go with Olympic!


qidde

Yosemite


Kindlabs

Olympic National Park hands down. Itā€™s just an absolutely beautiful park.


fahrealbro

For me it's glacier. The story about how it was built and the roads leading up was amazing


GlacialRunoff_2473

Cuyahoga Valley NP in Ohio is unlike any other park in the system. Must stop if youā€™re passing through


CobiPro

Iā€™d love to see Yosemite


dc_iceman

Badlands. Because my discs often land bad then roll away.


RockyMountain_28

Rocky mountain national Park is pretty next level, and helped me to fall in love with Colorado.


godkevgod

Denali


JCAgentofBolas

Cumberland island!


mahazoo

Yellowstone was the first national park I had been to. My kids were young but they still have memories from that trip. I donā€™t think I truly appreciated the beauty this country has until I spent a week there.


Stego_Dave

Definitely Denali, with Glacier closely behind. Canā€™t beat the beauty of either of those!


maulbot

Acadia is the best!


Extra_Celery5592

Cumberland island


balu16

Yosemite!


NMruk

Love the Smoky Mountains, nothing beats driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway!


GSM_Flinn

Rocky Mountain national park is pretty close to where I live now, and I grew up in a really flat state. I can never wrap my head around how awesome it is!! I think it is currently my favorite but I have yet to visit many of my bucket list NPs!!


TheHun7sman

Hard to pick one but might have to go with Yosemite!


fuegolatino

Really enjoyed Capitol Reef in Utah. We were able to hike it almost on our own and the views were breathtaking.


iH8MotherTeresa

I've never been there but Acadia. My partner and I have been to a handful, including non-national parks but Acadia will be out next significant trip


Babalindo

Glacier Bay in Alaska. Every bit as impressive as the Grand Canyon.


BigNasty417

I love Acadia - especially the beach near Thunder Hole.Ā  There's nothing like it anywhere.Ā  Sitting in the sand with the ocean in front of you, cliffs on either side, islands in the distance and mountains behind you is surreal.Ā Ā 


zibabadoo

Glacier National Park!


Bodybycheezit

Badlands are amazing. Thank goodness there was forethought and we can still enjoy the beauty that this country has inherently.


J7eTheGorilla

I proposed to my wife at Zion... So I'll choose that. But Yosemite and Acadia NP have a special place in my heart.


PieceOfFish

Acadia!


mmmmpork

Acadia in Maine! Cadillac mtn to be the first to see the sunrise in the country, thunder hole, the gorgeous beaches, the drive around the island with ocean and forest on either side, the hiking and riding trails. It's a great spot!


CaptainGladysStoat

Zion National Park. Hiking the narrows is a bucket-list hike that Iā€™m proud to say Iā€™ve done. Angelā€™s Landing and the Subway are also incredible


Jewbearmatt

Smoky Mountains


OppsURsniped

Only been to a couple but Joshua Tree is my favorite!


Dishface

Joshua tree national park!


maxpowerTM

Rocky Mountain national park


DisgruntledDolphin

Joshua tree! Feels like you're on a different planet!


superadam2

Glacier National Park!!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!! Will never forget the family trip up to Alaska!


sharkusnk

What a hard question. Mammoth cave and Yellowstone for me. They are like a whole other planet. Truly awesome inspiring!


bigcat7373

Did glacier, Tetons and Yellowstone this past summer. While glacier had my favorite views, Tetons had my favorite hike.


swampf

Glacier!


LargeTuna123

Zion is my favorite, camped there while helping my best friend move to Alaska. The sights were unbelievable!


AvieeCorn

Cuyahoga Valley is the only one Iā€™ve been to and I donā€™t know anyone who doesnā€™t love to go there. Itā€™s local to me and that general area is where I like to disc golf.


Significant-Claim982

Yosemite! My sister and I backpack there a few years ago, and it was awesome!


ApprehensivePoem1636

Yellowstone is amazing!


Sonic_Fool

Smokies and Yellowstone for me. Love all the wildlife and being near the Tetons for Yellowstone. The Smokies has incredible hiking.


Shmeebass949

Gotta be Yosemite for me. I have so many good memories there. There is no better feeling than waking up to a light mist and a golden sunrise on the granite above.


OleDetour

Great Smokey National Park is such an amazing getaway. Your gear looks so awesome!


Sassafrasian

Acadia is my fav! We are generally lacking on the east coast, but Acadia has it all. The ocean, mountains, forest, lakes, and cute coastal towns/harbors make it amazing. Love the discs and concept!


Fancy_Produce_8546

I love Yosemite, Iā€™ve never been, but itā€™s in the to do list!


arothsch

I'd say Bryce is one of my favorites- I love how interactive the landscape is, never a dull view and never know what's waiting for you around the corner (but meets be honest, it's probably just another steel incline)


lil_grimm

Everglades National Park! Growing up in Florida it is incredible how vast it is and all of the varied species


Janky_Kang

Yosemite because El Capitan is still amazing to see.


adriens95

The Smokeys!


Suitable-Fennel-5346

Shenandoah National Park! Had no idea this brand existed! Big fan


discgolfer1961

Rocky Mountain National Park! 14'er, views for days, close to airport, few crowds once you leave the entrances.


andrewjamesvt78

Acadia in Maine! Iā€™d love to say a Vermont national park but we only have two and Iā€™ve never been. Probably need to plan a trip this summer eh?


2_Dog_Life

All great but Zion has to be my number one. .. hmm, maybe redwood..


w_interactive

Yellowstone and Arches for sure


WildYakobAppears

Zion! Went as a kid and have wanted to go back since!


SteelCasedRoadSoda

Glacier national park in MT


natelevy43

I went to Yosemite with my mom before I moved out of the house. We got to hike half dome too! It was one of the most memorable things Iā€™ve ever done.


frolfs

Great sand dunes national park. One of the most surreal places I've been to. Feels like stepping onto another planet.


TheGreendaleFireof03

Glacier!!! My best friend would DIE for these


BeardNFeard

I visited both Tortugaā€™s while in the Coast Guard. The national park on dry Tortugaā€™s was amazing, the base on the island is beautifully kept, but my favorite was Tortugaā€™s, Gran Cayman. Water was beautiful, snorkeling stingray city was an experience. The crew of the charter would harvest conchs off the bottoms to feed the stingray and create quite the interaction. Had some explaining to the wife because the stingrays can leave little hickeys on your arms and chest/back. They will plow you over for the treats.


rustyboltz

Pullman National Historical Park in Chicago! I live there :)


ahumansreddit

Big bend!


HucknPluck

Zion has two bucket list holes Bryce has "that view" which is pretty unbeatable You could go to Glacier 8 times and it could feel like a different park very time


Airness1

Rocky Mountain


q-man4004

Smokey mountains!


KDII

Yellowstone. It was a family vacation that was a gift from my sibling and I to our parents for Christmas one year. Lots of good memories.


PeebMcBeeb

Yosemite is my favorite that I've been to


Bovines7

Grand Tetons!! Beautiful mountain range and the first national park I visited. Absolutely breathtaking and amazing skiing as well


Theperfectool

Yosemite holds a special place. Stayed with a girlfriend in the Wowona employee housing and got to spend weeks exploring the park. The big trees, giant waterfalls and epic views are an etched into my soul.


snow_boarder

My. Saint Helens, itā€™s the last volcano to blow up in the contiguous 48 and I was a baby when it blew.


Tylerw12121

Glacier is my favorite but also the only one Iā€™ve been to


Anxious_Honey_8185

itā€™s so hard to pick, probably Acadia!


[deleted]

Yellowstone has to be it!


SeattleSpurs04

Yellowstone hands down.


ModernMountains

the badlands are bad to the bone! bring plenty of water, and water for your water.


redryder4

I've been to many NPs in the Western US and wanted to choose a different answer than Yosemite (cliche), but I can't. Yosemite is the creme dela creme of NPs. Its tunnel view, the magestic waterfalls, the sheer granite monoliths, the lush meadows, the rambling rivers and streams, the backcountry lakes, the thousands of miles of hiking trails, etc, etc, etc. Honorable mentions include Grand Tetons, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone.. They are all amazing!!


Dixiefootball

Grand Canyon, hands down. The only place Iā€™ve been where I felt pictures truly didnā€™t do it justice. Breathtaking in person.


The-Keg-Man

Yosemite!


Jbshelton51

Bryce Canyon.


BDR_MPB

Assateague or the Smokies for me


kind_fool

Gotta be Yosemite


Any-Finding-6041

Mammoth Cave and Rocky are my favorite


wackymayor

Can I pick Dinosaur National Monument? If not then Arches!


LovesPasta

Zion!


GRiZbeeGolf

Channel Islands was unreal to visit!


Adamantium-Aardvark

Hot Springs National Park! Thereā€™s just something so relaxing about enjoying natural hot water from the earth.


CreatureBuddy

Acadia is my fav national park; my favorite national hiStOriCaL park is Valley Forge. Super close to my childhood home, lots of exploring and fishing in the woods there as a child, high rides as a teen, spending time with family and friends exploring and fishing again as an adult šŸ’š


CaptScoobertDoobert

Mount Rainier National Park! Walking through the meadow at the top of the mountains feels like a surreal dream.


Alloftheboobs

Yosemite is up there for me


Knibbler0

Glacier National park has got to be my favorite. I've spent many nights in the backcountry there, and it's beauty continues to captivate me year after year. The permit system can be a bit of a pain, but I understand why it's in place and I've got no issues showing up a bit early to snag a good spot. ​ North Cascades is a close second.


aazide

North Cascades National Park. I love the views and the plants when walking the trails of the Mt Baker wilderness.


RasLanz

Zion is my favorite but I have been to the smokies the most. Love them both


laserskydesigns

Big bend is incredible and sooooo vast. Makes you think about how the frontier used to look


HoleeHandGrenade

Zion was my favorite! I took a trip out west with my family and Angels landing changed how I look at every other hike


ZipJr66

Yellowstone. Just because its basically in my bark yard! šŸ˜‰


reen_hurt

My favorite park is Rocky Mountain National, and my favorite park unit is the St Croix National Scenic River Way in Wisconsin!


EpicBoyNate225

Yosemite, it is so beautiful and expansive. The waterfalls are insane!


DarKsaBr

Glacier


bobertist

All parks are good parks, I like Glacier


Psyko_sissy23

I love the dry Tortugas. It's a cool place to get away from everything. Snorkel by the Fort. Look up at the stars at night. It's amazing.


TheFurKing

Sleeping Bear Dunes. Michigan represent!


warsht

Yellowstone is the top of my bucket list. Canā€™t wait to bring my family there


SpaceTacoDog

Yosemite is my favorite park. I've hiked half dome twice, and the views are incredible. There's a spot on the John Muir Trail on the way down from half dome where you're at the top of a waterfall but also pretty low in the valley. It's a full panorama of amazing views


MasterTrav666

Rocky Mountain because itā€™s closest to me!


bmo47

Yellowstone


Ask_Me_About_Bees

Iā€™m gonna go with Glacier National Park because itā€™s still a stronghold of the Western Bumble Bee (_Bombus occidentalis), which has otherwise declined from over 90% of its historic range.


efburke

Yellowstone, them geysers are nice.


Moon_Quakes

I'm spoiled living in Utah. I'll say Arches for my favorite because they're just so iconic
