You don’t have to go far to find an adventure and nothing proves that better than a visit to one of the U.S. National Parks. Each park has its own striking natural features, dramatic landscapes, and unique attractions. But it can be tricky to know how one park varies from another, or which you might like to visit most.

Use the guide below to help you decide which park you might enjoy based on your interests!

Grand Teton National Park

Perfect for the Snow Fanatic

There are a lot of beautiful mountain ranges in the U.S., but perhaps none quite as striking as the jagged peaks of the Grand Tetons. While the park is open year-round, a wintertime visit offers an equally serene and adventurous experience, giving outdoor lovers the opportunity to snowshoe, cross-country or downhill ski or snowmobile against an incredible mountainous backdrop.

Grand Canyon National Park

Perfect for the Photographer

Aside from being one of the most iconic U.S. landscapes, the Grand Canyon, and it’s many unusual natural features, is a photographer’s dream. The dramatic colors, ever-changing light, and burning sunsets make the Grand Canyon an ideal place to capture nature’s raw beauty. A few of our favorite spots to get the perfect snapshot? Yaki Point, Horseshoe Bend, and nearby Antelope Canyon.

Redwood National Park

Perfect for the City-Slicker

A few hours outside of San Francisco lies Redwood National Park, home to the world’s tallest trees. This park is the perfect escape for San Fran or Sacramento’s city-slickers (because we ALL need a break from the hustle and bustle sometimes). There are a lot of great hiking trails but if you’re not the most outdoorsy, this park is a great choice because much of the sightseeing can be done from the comfort of your car or Globus motorcoach.

Yellowstone National Park

Perfect for the Wildlife Lover

While Yellowstone is home to many famed geothermal features, it is also home to the largest concentration of mammals in the United States. Its most notable inhabitants are grizzly bears, bison, elk, wolves and bighorn sheep. Here, it’s not uncommon to see bald eagles soaring overhead or for a family of bison to be strolling alongside the road, making it the perfect national park for those looking to safely interact with wildlife.

Yosemite National Park

Perfect for the Thrill-Seeker

Yosemite is home to diverse alpine terrain, stunning waterfalls and lakes, and perhaps most notably, some of the world’s best rock climbing areas. The landscape is guaranteed to delight thrill-seeking travelers who can descend the granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half-Dome, should they wish. Or, if scaling a sheer rock face isn’t really your speed, there are plenty of other activities to engage in – hiking, fishing, gold panning and biking.

Valley Forge National Historical Park

Perfect for the History Buff

The park, once the site of the continental army’s winter camp, now serves as an essential stop for those interested in the American Revolution. More than 240 years of history can be found on these grounds, making it the perfect national park destination for those looking to explore the outdoors and further their understanding of U.S. History. Nearby Gettysburg National Military Park is also worth the stop!
