I think the reason I am so intrigued is because I haven’t been to any in the United States, except for the volcano national parks in Hawaii. I love the outdoors and land features other than the Plains interest me because that is all I am surrounded by in Oklahoma. The national park I would like to go to first would be Yosemite. It looks gorgeous! And all the giant Sequoias would be so majestic. Once, I was really close to going to the Grand Canyon because I was driving through Arizona but by the time we drove out of our way to see the Grand Canyon it was going to be too dark outside. I am still hoping one day I’ll get to visit all of them in the United States, especially since my last project I did virtual tours of the national parks.
