How many national parks have you visited? Some places it’s easier than others but any national parks count, as long as you were there and they’re counted as a national park by the government. I’ve been to 9 in the US (Acadia, Shenandoah, Everglades, Cuyahoga Valley, the Gateway Arch, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Glacier, and Yosemite) and one in Croatia (Krka). I’m visiting 2 more very soon though (Bryce and Zion). Hopefully I don’t get sunburned and/or get heatstroke On and hopefully I don’t fall off a cliff

 

[athenaaa]

lots. especially if ya count national forests..
1 or 2 in Australia maybe more.
Some in Canada most in the western part ofc the falls ect.
So many in the us mostly in the western part. but we did a 30+ state trip that hit a bunch.
Some i have even visited alone like say Yosemite, but most were with family or friends.

Well the west has many more than the East anyways, a 30+ state trip in the east would give you like 5 parks

yeah it can be confusing. There are a bunch more monuments or historical sites back east. but they may have park tags. All the Mass, dc, philly stuff.

There’s plenty of state parks and whatnot here. But in the northeast for example, which is full of historical sights and oceanside parks, has only one national park, Acadia. If you go further down closeish to the coast more start to appear, but not nearly as much as you’d see in the west. Probably because there’s more cities and whatnot here, a disproportionate amount compared to area, while in the west it’s not as thickly populated and there’s just a lot of notable nature type areas that weren’t destroyed for cities. That’s my thought at least. Ofc relatively thickly populated states in the west have national parks too but many national parks are in areas that are considered “less hospitable” (especially in the past) and are often not super thickly populated.
