    Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands in NM are both pretty amazing National Parks.

    Awesome video, Briggs. Glacier National Park in Montana wasn't featured, but I highly recommend it. Be sure to make your reservations online for the sections you want to visit. You can avoid the reservation, if you get in before 0600 or after 1500. Watch out for ground squirrels, the most aggressive animals in the park. 😂
    A follow up video on National Monuments would be appreciated.

      Glad I'm not the only one that caught that!! GLACIER WAS STUNNING. STUNNNING.

    • @wpdt45
      @wpdt45 11 місяців тому

      He called Glacier Bay NP, Glacier, and forgot to mention Glacier NP in Mont. You're right about it being wondrous. The mountain goats can be pretty aggressive when they smell corn chips.

    • @tymarls

    @MrDan708 11 місяців тому +2

    The national parks I've seen: Arches, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Everglades, Grand Teton, Shenandoah, Virgin Islands, and Yellowstone. And like Briggs, I feel like there's so much more I want to see. Mammoth Cave is next in my travel plans.
    Briggs, it would be cool if you made video of the largest or most-visited state parks in all 50 states.

  • @walterglomp1035
    @walterglomp1035 11 місяців тому +8

    Now do the rest of the national parks. Thank you, respectfully, Wally

    Mr. Briggs. Thank you for such a wonderful overview of our national parks. I would really like to see more videos of America's national parks and monuments. Here's another idea; make a video that highlights some of Oregon's state and county parks. Ecola state park in Cannon Beach immediately comes to mind.

    • @becmer

  • @cookielady7662
    @cookielady7662 11 місяців тому +1

    If you do state parks, please don't forget Palo Duro Canyon State Park in Texas. The canyon is the largest one in the US outside of the Grand Canyon. It's impressive because it seemingly comes out of nowhere. The land is flat and all of a sudden, there's a huge, beautiful canyon. Thanks for all your videos. I enjoy them.

    Colorado National Monument, just outside of Grand Junction. I'm surprised this one hasn't become a national park. The 45-minute drive is amazing.

  • @commonsense2462

    State parks! Yes! I'm guessing you'd have to do it in segments because each state has so many state parks. But I wonder...are Army Corps of Engineers reservoirs considered state parks or something else? Thanks, Briggs! Another fabulous video!!

    I lived in Death Valley National Monument back in 1979. It became a national park in 1994. I wish my legs were still good, I'd go back there for a job. A friend of mine, Susan worked at Bryce Canyon, and Death Valley as well.

    Don't know if it counts, but the Gulf Islands National Seashore. When we stay in Pensacola, we go over to Gulf Islands for a beach you almost have to yourself. Also, on Tues/Thurs during show season, the Blue Angels get up for practice from NAS Pensacola across the bay, so you get your own little airshow.

    You didn’t mention Glacier National Park. You did call Glacier Bay NP Glacier in the intro, but they are two distinct parks. Glacier NP is one of the most beautiful parks I’ve been to, and I’ve been to many of the ones mentioned in this post.
