   • Yellowstone. Even if Yellowstone didn't hold the incredible distinction of being the world's first national park, the 2.2 million-acre park could easily stand on its own for its unique natural attractions and diverse geography.
   • Yosemite. California's most-visited national park stands out for its bevy of impressive waterfalls, such as Vernal Fall and Bridalveil Fall, as well as unique granite rock formations like Half Dome and El Capitan.
   • Glacier National Park. Water and mountains define this national park, which spans two mountain ranges and includes more than 700 lakes across Montana.
   • Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is so magnificent that even the highest quality photos don't do the Arizona park's vast beauty justice – you just have to see it in person.
