Nature at its finest
The U.S. National Park Service manages nearly 400 national parks which serve more than 275 million visitors a year.
A desire to get back to nature, to reconnect with the past and to explore all the amazing extremes of American geography — these are just a few of the reasons why these green spaces are an important part of our cultural fabric.Take this visual tour of America's biggest parks, and then discover additional parks with MNN's 60 parks in 60 days project, an ongoing exploration of parks — from national monuments to state to local gems.

60 parks in 60 days? Exactly NOT what national parks are about. Take your time and enjoy!
This was just a feature. In no way are we suggesting it is a good idea to visit all 60 in 60 days. :-)
Cannot believe Rocky Mountain National Park is not included!!
Seeing all these beautiful parks makes me want to get out and just GO! Too bad reality often doesn't have the same idea...

Been to many national parks. Arches is by far the best one
what good are photos that aren't labeled where they are taken? They are quite lovely but I would like to know the locations.
The locations of each national park are directly underneath each photo, on the right-hand side.
The names of the parks are in the title bar at the very top of the browser window.
