There are 59 US National Parks
scattered throughout the United States and it's territories.
These parks make up only a fraction of the
417 sites that compress the National Park Service.

According to National Geographic,
the number one most visited park is
the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Which drew more than 11 million visitors,
twice the amount of the second most visited park.
One of our favorite parks to visit happens
to be the number one most visited!
This was our favorite as the
kids were growing up.
So much to do and see!

| Park Loop Road, Acadia National Park |
My next favorite is listed as the number seven on the list,
Acadia National Park where the sea meets the mountains.
Most of the park is located on Desert Mountain Island.
Cadillac Mountain in Acadia is said to be the
first place you can see the sun rise
depending on the time of year.
