My favorite national parks

Since we came to the US more than eight years ago we’ve visited quite a few national parks. I really wish I’d started writing on Medium earlier so that I could leave detailed notes about these trips. Instead, there are scattered memories and hundreds of pictures on my iPhone.

Because we lived mostly in California, our experience of the US national park system is heavily skewed towards the West Coast. With the exception of Everglades in Florida, we’ve not visited any parks in the East. The most visited one — Smoky Mountains — remains on our bucket list.
