none


We've camped in the National Forest campgrounds in North Ga, and probably passed through the smokeys and the Cape Canveral beach, but no official National Parks.

I would really love to take a trip west and then a cruise to Alaska. It's hard to sacrifice our small short trips to Disney or the beach each year to save up for one big long trip, but after seeing that special....wow, it would be a trip that ds would appreciate for the rest of his life!

Thanks to everyone for sharing. Sounds like it takes a lot of planning which is my favorite part!

I haven't been to any NP YET !!!! I watched the PBS series on the Lodges of the National Parks and I have taped the National Parks "America's Best Idea" series. I haven't gotten to watch it yet. When I saw the lodges at Yellowstone and Yosemite I flipped out. Simply beautiful. Opened my eyes to the National Parks. I see so many others have found these beautiful lands and I love how so many are so passionate about it. I can't wait to visit them when I can save a little $$$$$ aside for it.
