I usually avoid national parks because of all the regulations and the crowds. My favorite national parks are Current River/Jacks Fork in Missouri and Buffalo River in Arkansas because you don't pay to get in and don't need a permit to camp.

There are 2 I'd really love to see - Glacier for backpacking, and I'd like to kayak out to Channel Islands for wilderness camping and exploring.

And there are a few I've been to but would like to go back - Mount Rainier to climb the peak, I spent a week in Yellowstone and saw none of the backcountry, and I drove through Zion quickly and didn't get to hike.

Grand Tetons is maybe the most beautiful place I've been.
