So I am a huge fan of visiting national parks. I recently just got into visiting them. I’ve been to Great Smokey Mountains when I was a kid and last year I did a trip out west and saw three! I saw Yosemite, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon. I’m already planning two more trips for summer 2027 and summer 2028 to see more out west.

With that being said, I wanted to ask you all, based on your knowledge and/or experience visiting these 20 parks I have listed here, which do you think are the most beautiful, the most overrated, and the most underrated? You can even throw in which one(s) you think are the least appealing to look at.

I am curious to see your guys’ thoughts as it will help me consider which of these I should visit or not. Like I said, 4 of them I’ve been to already but I am still curious to hear your thoughts about them. The parks are:

-Yosemite National Park in California

-The Grand Canyon in Arizona

-Yellowstone in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho

-Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado

-Zion National Park in Utah

-Arches National Park in Utah

-Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah

-Death Valley National Park in California

-Crater Lake in Oregon

-Mt. Rainier in Washington

-White Sands National Park in New Mexico

-Acadia National Park in Maine

-Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee and North Carolina

-Everglades National Park in Florida

-Mammoth Cave in Kentucky

-Guadalupe National Park in Texas

-Badlands National Park in South Dakota

-Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming

-Glacier National Park in Montana

-Denali National Park in Alaska

-Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii

RECIPE

Ingredients

6 grams instant coffee (ground)
15 grams warm water
100 grams margarine
80–90 grams powdered sugar
1 egg yolk
160 grams low-protein flour
15 grams cocoa powder
25 grams cornstarch

Preparation Procedure

Brew the coffee with warm water for just a moment, stir until well combined, and set aside. You may also substitute the water with warm milk.

Cream the butter, then add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined.

Next, add the egg yolks and beat again, then add the coffee brewed with warm water.

Add the flour little by little while stirring. Add the chocolate and stir until well combined.

Mix again by hand until the dough is no longer sticky and easy to shape.

Take 1 standard teaspoon of dough, shape it into a ball, then make a hole in the center with a knife or spoon to form a coffee-like shape.

Arrange on a baking sheet and bake until done for about 45 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
