I really love going on random adventures to new places. Going out into nature is one of my favorite things to do, although I have pretty bad allergies. Lately, I have been wanting to go visit different national parks. In this post, I will talk about three national parks I hope to visit in the next year: Zion National Park, Yosemite, and Yellowstone.
Zion National Park
Zion is located in the southeastern portion of Utah. Some notable activities to do while there are the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive and Zion Mount Carmel Highway. Many people say the Radiator Springs roller coaster at California Adventure looks similar to Zions Canyons. A fun fact about this park is the path called Angel’s Landing is considered one of the most dangerous hikes in the world.
Yosemite
I went to Yosemite once already when I was really young and I loved it, but I want to go again. I never got to go on the hikes or more sides of the park, which is what I want to do. Yosemite is located in Central California, about 2 hours from where I lived. Yosemite is beautiful during the Summer and Winter. In winter, the mountains are filled with snow. Although it gets cold and may be dangerous, it is still worth visiting. It gets hot in the summer, but there are many lakes you can take a dip in or waterfalls you can stand under.
Yellowstone
Yellowstone is known as the first national park in the United States and the world. It is located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. One of its most notable attractions is Old Faithful geyser. The photo above features the Grand Prismatic Spring, also known as the Rainbow Pool, the third-largest hot spring globally. However, it is not safe to swim in because the water is boiling. Yellowstone also sits on top of one of the world’s largest supervolcanoes.
These parks look amazing! I've never been to any of these national parks, but I hope to visit them soon. Thank you for sharing some facts about these places. It's like I got a short tour from my house.
ReplyDeleteI found it hilarious that they would call one of the most dangerous hikes in the world Angel's Landing. Reminded me of King's Landing in GoT after the Tommen scene. I always forget that America has such beautiful national parks.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go to a national park, but is has never been on the top of my list. Personally, I like to visit other cities and cultures, but nature is a good change. Perhaps on my next trip I will persuade myself to go to on of these. Yellowstone looks amazing and is not much of a drive so who knows.
ReplyDeleteThese parks seem so cool. I really want to do more outdoorsy stuff with my friends. I think I need to make a trip to Yosemite very soon I have always wanted to go.
ReplyDeleteHi Raigan, thanks for introducing these three national parks. I always wanted to do more national park road trip during my four years of college but I have only been to one park - Yosemite. But it was definitely worth going there second time. I plan to go to Yellowstone sometime this year or next year!
