Now, we should list our favorites. My top 5, in order: 1. Hawaii Volcanoes -- there is no experience to match watching the lava flow into the ocean and feeling the heat on your cheeks.
2. Katmai -- The best place to watch grizzlies catching salmon, plus a gigantic valley covered in volcanic ash 3. Yosemite -- the cathedral of stone 4. Haleakala -- watching the sun leap out of the Pacific from 10,000 feet above sea level in unforgetable. 5. Mt Ranier -- there is something quite spiritual about that mountain. Banff -- a Canadian National Park -- is also very high on my list. A wonderland of mountains, lakes and glaciers.
