My top 5 would have to include
Denail rated ***** for the outdoor experience & opportunity to photograph
wild animals
Isle Royale ***** for the raw northerrn outdoor experience (and to hear the
wolves howl & have a moose stare you down in the fall)
Kenai Fjords **** for the water side of the outdoor experience
Rocky Mountain **** for the easily travelled mountain experience
Yosemite **** just because...

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.

I'm impressedwith his talent for "fish stories",
since there are only 58
National parks ;-)
Perhaps he is counting every trip?

Probably counting state parks too. Interestingly, if
CA stops covering our
local mountain as a state park, the national park
service has said it will
take it on.
I don't know what's happening with that yet.
