Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, US.
It's a beautiful valley surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains. Perfect for picnics, camping or just passing through. I've only been twice though, both times on the way to Washington DC.

Zion has to be my favorite, but I also have a real soft spot for Isle Royale.

Cumberland Island
Did You Know?
Cumberland Island is one of the largest undeveloped barrier islands in the world. The island has one of the largest maritime forests remaining in the United States and one of the largest wilderness areas in a National Seashore on the east coast.

Glacier National Park.
Absolutely gorgeous.
So much wildlife there – it is like you are at a petting zoo.
The trails are great. There is so much to explore.
I wish that I lived right near there.
Here is a link:

Valley Forge National Historical Park... I live like 5 min from it... cross through it at least once a week if not every day...
by CousinVinny on February 18th, 2009
The Grand Tetons.
Very still, very quite.
Awesome place.

Shenandoah National Park. Skyline Drive during the fall is probably the most breathtakingly beautiful sight on the entire east coast. Every fall, we take the top off the convertible and take the drive, stopping to tour a winery or two and having either a picnic or a nice dinner from one of the very fine restaurants on the way back.

Yosemite National Park in California is the most beautiful place on Earth.
by pepe09 on February 18th, 2009
Great Smokey Mountains.
I love the views, the deep forests, the entire ecosystem.

Snowdonia. It's just as beautiful as the Lake District, but easier to get about by road from one part to another.

Saguaro...I'm missing it right now.
Also, Grand Canyon - fascinating for Geo history.
I like a lot of them - I took a class that was called geology of national parks...
Oh, Bryce! and Zion! - gorgeous
Also Yellowstone and Yosemite, as others said
and Isle Royale, in MI. - It's one of the least visited, so if you want deep nature minus people, check it out.

Denali, or the Cape Cod National Sea Shore.

The Grand Canyon.

My favorite national park would be Zion in Utah.
It is just so peaceful, even if there are motels scattered around and a main highway.. It is awe inspiring to me.
by Kenna on March 16th, 2008
Yellowstone National Park is amazing because of all the geothermal attractions.
However, Big Bend National park in South Texas is beautiful and awe-inspiring. So many rocks, so close to Mexico. The Rio Grande is a mighty river, too.
by THE TRAVEL SLUT on January 16th, 2008
That is both a great but difficult question to answer because their are so many good ones and many different types.
Here's a list of top 10 most visited parks with the annual crowd numbers too. The only one I would add would be Denali in Alaska and Hawaii Volcano's.
1. Great Smoky Mtns. National Park, Tenn. 9,192,477
2. Grand Canyon National Park, Ariz. 4,401,522
3. Yosemite National Park, Calif. 3,304,144
4. Olympic National Park, Wash. 3,142,774
5. Yellowstone National Park, Wyo., 2,835,651
6. Rocky Mountain National Park, Colo. 2,798,368
7. Zion National Park, Utah 2,586,665
8. Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio 2,533,827
9. Grand Teton National Park, Wyo. 2,463,442
10. Acadia National Park, Maine 2,051,484
Still my favorite would be Everglades & Big Cypress National Park in Florida because it is close enough for me to experience many times and it is so diverse to keep me busy looking for years.

Shennandoah National Park in Western Virginia. I went to college 30 miles away in the Shennandoah Valley and I fell in love with it. I'm moving back up there soon!
by RainbowWishes on October 4th, 2008
Hmm..interesting. I have never heard of this place. I will do some googling though. Thanks!
by Anonymous on June 1st, 2008
Glacier.... no doubt...
After that Yosemite and Zion...
I was a little bit disappointed by Yellowstone. Yeah, the geothermal features are kinda neat, BUT way too many tourists and the overall scenery is just average IMHO...
by good1 on February 18th, 2009
Acadia National Park in Maine. It was beautiful, large, had a lot of natural beauty and a great view of Maine from the top of the mountain. I love Bar Harbor too.

Zion, because it is the last one I went to.

Yellowstone looks like a great place to visit so I'll say there.
by jin jang on February 18th, 2009
Banff National Park.I like the rocky mountains and Banff is an interesting city within this park.Also the ski hills are there and gondola lifts.
by Sherri on February 18th, 2009
Zion National Park in Utah...absolutely breath taking views and wild life running thru the campgrounds!
