I can't confine it to just one park.
My wife and I enjoyed Arches and Canyonlands, Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Acadia.

I have to say Yosemite because I was practically raised there! I have so many family memories & have explored so much of Yosemite the last 77 years from top to bottom. It feels like my "real" home to me. However, being my favorite does not detract from all the others...I am simply overwhelmed by Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Canyon Arches, Bryce, Canyon Lands, (missed Zion...it was closed!) and all the others! So much beauty everywhere.They are all worthy & I am grateful they still exist! But it is always Yosemite I go to in times of stress or when I want to reminisce about family long gone and the good times we had there. Plus I know so many "secret" places not many tourists can find to enjoy some solitude.

Our whole family used to spend two weeks camping there every year . Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandparents, it was a grand time in our lives...now most are gone but not forgotten. I am the oldest of the Grandkids and we have lost a few of us. Only two Aunts are still living...in their 90's now. As an adult I went to Yosemite at least 6 times a year I lived close enough to make even day trips. We have special names we gave to places that only mean something to us but immediately invoke strong fun memories or give instant directions of where we are. Lol..Like the Flat Rock in the Merced River that we gauge how high the water was and was a perfect spot to sunbathe in the middle once it was above the surface in Summer! Or the Cow Pasture..the perfect huge Meadow to go catch a basket full of fat Brook Trout that no one ever fished where I caught my first Trout at age 11 with my grandpa! Flyfishing! I too was hooked on Flyfishing at that moment! Yes, Yosemite is special to me. My favorite.

Voyagures NP on the Minnesota-Canadian border. I’m a boater, fisherman and photographer and have made over 300, 'ya 300, trips there in the last forty plus years. It’s a National Park that I can actually use and be a part of it physically.

Crikey, that's a tough one; Wilsons Promontory is up there... well
actually "down there" as it is the most Southerly bit of the Australian
mainland.

Abundant semi tame Aussie wildlife... roos, emus and very cute wombats
mooching around your tent.

Long bush walks to campsites, so there's a lack of tourists
and thousands of pristine acres (mostly to yourself) amongst large friendly animals.
It's like being in a fairy story.

To us Koori mob, the area is Woomoon...
and was Woomoon long before the Pyramids were constructed.
Crikey, that's a tough one; Wilsons Promontory is ... (show quote)


Crikey Australia has some neat areas too!

We've been to most of the NP's west of the Mississippi and GSMNP. We go to hike the back country to get away from the crowds. By far, our favorite is Glacier. Yosemite and RMNP follow close behind.

That is like asking: "which is your favorite child"? They are all special in their own way. But if pressed, I would have to say Yellowstone, because of the wildlife as well as the awesome geologic features.

Any one I'm at is the best at that time. Except Pinnacles in California.
