    2. These are some awesome recommendations for parks in the US. Connecticut, PA and WA are a few hours drive from NYC. Will be looking into paying one of them a visit. Thanks for sharing.

  16. This is so cool, I’ve never seen a list of all our national park units broken out by state. I’ve been to many of these, but clearly have sooo many more to visit.

  17. We do love to visit the National Parks and Monuments in the US. We have visited quite a few but this was great to see the full list by state. It gives us some great reasons to visit new states. And a wonderful way to get real value from a National Park pass. Definitely a post to keep for future travel planning.
