If so, why? I love the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore in northern, lower Michigan. The sanddunes and Lake Michigan and Glen Lake take my breath away every time I visit. What's your favorite park?

Yosemite will blow you away. There is so much concentrated in one small valley that it will just blow you away. The Sequoias will leave you with a kink in your neck from looking up. Waterfalls everywhere. Spectacular hiking of all levels. WOW! Stay at the main lodge if you can manage it. At least check it out.
Everglades is interesting but you're better off viewing it from one of the commercial airboat rides on the park's northern edges. Don't stay in the park unless you love being total mosquito bait at night. The canoing is pretty good though.

It's hard to decide, since I've been to over 20 national parks and national forests and national seashores...
Out west, for wildlife viewing, plus geyers and waterfalls, it'd have to be Yellowstone National park, since I saw a bison, elk, a moose, and antelope while hiking...plus you can canoe, raft, bike, etc..Mt. Lassen National Park in CA is a close second as far as mountains, mud pools, and steam vents go.
In the south, I love Cape Lookout Nat'l Seashore in North Carolina, since I've sailed and sea kayaked out to it, and that's the only way you can get to it.. It's composed of a number of isolated barrier islands with a lighthouse on it..pristine beaches..dolphin pods feeding..migrating birds..I actually stepped on a skate (similiar to a sting ray, without the barb) while walking to shore after swimmming from the sailboat to the beach (no I"m not rich, I was guiding a trip).
In the southwest, I'd say my best trip was canoeing on the Green River through Canyonlands, since I saw mule deer, hiked to ruins, camped in total isolation on gorgeous ledges...though the Boundary Waters and Voyagers Nat'l Park in Minnesota had incredible amounts of wildlife..I watched a family of eagles from my campsite that were teaching their young how to fish..and I got barked at by otters after I accidently canoed too close to them..I didn't enjoy the bear encounters tho...
Recently I canoed for a week in the Okeefenokee Swamp in GA, and camped on platforms, and saw a lot of egret/ibis's, an alligator and even a lynx who liked to hang out at the one island we camped on..
Happy trails!
