Yesterday, my darling daughter wrote a post on 14 places she would like to see before she dies. ^[2] Today, my answer to that is 10 places in the USA I would like to see before I die. These are all United States National Parks ^[3].

Denali National Park in Alaska is home to Mount McKinley, our continent’s highest peak, as well as scores of wildlife and scenic vistas. Everywhere you look is a postcard. The national park service says there are 6 million acres…and only one ribbon of road. Simply beautiful!

I would love to see the Grand Canyon and all its splendor. According to the Park Service: “A powerful and inspiring landscape, the Grand Canyon overwhelms our senses through its immense size. Unique combinations of geologic color and erosional forms decorate a canyon that is 277 river miles (446km) long, up to 18 miles (29km) wide, and a mile (1.6km) deep.”
