Five Favorite Places

[GeneF]

This thread is a spinoff from the thread started by Billy Bob on his trip.

List no more than five of your favorite places that you have visited while on a camping trip.  They do not have to be listed from most favorite to least favorite.

They may be a natural wonder or a commercial venture that you really enjoyed but it has to be something you have done on a camping trip.

Just thought it might be fun to have to think a bit about where we have been and what we have seen that we all have really enjoyed.

Arches National Park
CanyonLands
Crazy Horse
Badlands
Acadia

[Calstate361]

Yosemite (we go every year)
Yellowstone
Mr. Rushmore
Crazy Horse
The Redwoods (in Yosemite and No. CA)
Niagra Falls

Places I would like to see in the near future after I retire next year:

Grand Canyon
Civil War Battlefields
All the monuments in Washington DC & Virginia
Grand Tetons
See more of the US, Canada, and Mexico
etc, etc, etc.

Uh, where to start?  Only five?  Calstate listed six...

Acadia National Park
Grand Canyon (I prefer the North Rim - far less crowded).
Yosemite National Park
Carlsbad Caverns National Park
Yellowstone/Grand Teton national parks (only counts as one because the camper did not move ).
Prince Edward Island, Canada

If you notice this list is different from the other thread, it's because the question is different.  I have enjoyed Acadia perhaps more than any other, and have been there at least six times.  Should all Americans see it? That would wreck it for sure.  I also believe there are large numbers of people who would simply never "get it" and shoud not waste their time.

Great question, Gene ...

Arches/Canyonlands NP (the trailer didn't move   )
North rim of the Grand Canyon
Biltmore Estate
Glacier NP
Pikes Peak


I had a couple others, but I didn't visit them on camping trips ~

Kootenai National Forest (far and away my most favorite)
Gettysburg

[SkipP]

The biggest challenge is narrowing it to only five! I agree, cool thread Gene.

• Great Smoky Mountain National Park
• Yellowstone/Grand Tetons
• Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah
• Kodachrome Basin State Park, Utah
• Charleston, SC area

Holy Cow! Five is nowhere near enough.

[Azusateach]

This is fun ...  

1.  Alaska -- too many places to list
2.  Banff/Lake Louise
3.  Yosemite
4.  Tetons
5.  Rocky Mtn. National Park


And, somewhere I bet nobody else has been (unless you're affiliated with the YMCAs in the Fresno area) -- Sequoia Lake.  Walking distance from the national park, privately owned, and one of the most beautiful places in the Sierras.

I won't list Grand Teton NP because it is in my signature, here goes:
1.Capitol Reef NP (Utah)
2.Denali NP (Alaska)
3.Craters of the Moon NP (Idaho)
4.Deadhorse Point SP (Utah)
5.Goblin Valley SP(again in Utah)

Been to Yellowstone and as they say "not so much..." we really hated fighting the crowds.

Many other places will be visited by the snoochie house.  We are talking about doing our winter trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon this winter, and maybe Glaicer NP in Montana next year along with the anual Teton trip.
