This week we asked our readers to name their favorite National Parks. They could only choose five out of 405 National Park sites, so there were some tough choices to make.
When we tallied the responses, five National Parks came out as the reader favorites. Here are our reader’s favorite National Parks:
1. Yellowstone National Park
2. Glacier National Park
3. Grand Canyon National Park
4. Yosemite National Park
5. Bryce Canyon National Park
It’s hard to argue with the reader choices. All of these National Parks are stunning and belong on every truck camper’s bucket list. Thank you to everyone who shared their favorite National Parks.
