Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming
The Jackson Hole Valley is the ideal place to see the impressive Teton Mountain Range. The park is also right down the road from Yellowstone National Park.Olympic National Park in Washington
From the Pacific coastline to the glaciers in the Olympic Mountains to the temperate rainforests, this park has the right landscape for everyone.Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah
Despite the name, Bryce Canyon is not actually a canyon, but a collection of amphitheaters with the distinctive rock pillars called hoodoos.Sequoia National Park in California
This park is obviously known for having some of the tallest trees in the world, but it also contains Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous United States.Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming (extending into Montana and Idaho)
Yellowstone National Park is the oldest in the country and is best known for its many hot springs, such as Old Faithful and the Grand Prismatic Hot Spring, but it also has the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.Gates of the Arctic National Park in Alaska
This national park is the second largest and the most northern in the country. With no park facilities it is pure wilderness.Joshua Tree National Park in California
The park is named for the Joshua trees that are only found in and around the Mojave Desert. Besides the two desert, the park also has many rock outcrops that are popular with climbers.Crater Lake National Park in Oregon
The park encompasses the lake, which gives it its name and the surrounding area. The lake is in the crater of an ancient volcano and is one of the deepest lakes in the world.Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico
The longest of the 117 caves in the park is over 120 miles long. An estimated 800,000 bats from 17 different species inhabit the caves and their daily outflight is a sight to see.Yosemite National Park in California
El Capitan and Half Dome are two granite masterpieces you need to see at Yosemite, but the park also has one of the highest waterfalls in the world.Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado
The scenery of the Rocky Mountains and the beautiful lakes is what makes this park a hiker’s paradise. The mighty Colorado River starts in this park and will eventually go through the Grand Canyon.Arches National Park in Utah
This park got its name from the over 2000 natural sandstone arches it contains. Be careful when visiting them, 43 of them have collapsed due to erosion since 1970.Glacier National Park in Montana
Glacier National Park may have to consider changing its name soon. Of the 150 glaciers that used to be active in the mid-19th century, only 25 are still around and they may all be gone by 2020.Congaree National Park in South Carolina
This park is the largest old-growth hardwood forest in the US and sits on a floodplain. Check how high the water level is before visiting.Badlands National Park in South Dakota
The sedimentary rock layers and massive prairie are just incredible to look at. The rocks are also a huge draw for fossil hunters.Zion National Park in Utah
The narrow canyons and other geologic wonders of this park are the main attraction, which makes hiking and rock climbing the best activities here.Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii (obviously)
This is the park to go to if you want to see some lava flowing. Two of the most active volcanoes in the world are located in the park.Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska
If you would rather see ice from a glacier instead of lava from a volcano, the large Harding Icefield in this park home to 38 breathtaking glaciers you can see for what is likely a limited future.Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona
The Grand Canyon is considered one of the natural wonders of the world. At just over 275 miles long, up to 1 mile deep, and up to 15 miles wide, it certainly is grand.Acadia National Park in Maine
This park is made up of several islands off the coast of Maine that were all donated by private citizens. John Rockefeller donated much of the land, and he designed and financed the 50 miles of paths and 16 stone bridges still in use today.Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado
Colorado is well known for its tall mountains and skiing, but this park also has the largest sand dunes in North America at over 750 feet tall.Denali National Park in Alaska
Mount McKinley’s native name is Denali, and it is the tallest mountain peak in North America. About 16% of the 6-million-acre park is covered by glaciers, and air taxis will land on the glaciers if you want an up-close view.Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee and North Carolina
This is the most visited national park with more than twice as many visitors each year as the Grand Canyon. Hiking and fishing are the main activities people flock for.Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Texas
This park contains the highest point in Texas and another rock formation named El Capitan (not to be confused with the one in Yosemite).Dry Tortugas National Park in Florida
Composed of the seven westernmost islands of the Florida Keys, this place is made for scuba lovers. The park is 99% water and only accessible by boat or sea-place. It also features Fort Jefferson, the large hexagonal outpost pictured above.
Here are the 10 French National Parks. According to me, they are among the most beautiful National Parks in the World.
The 10 national parks in France grouped together within the “Parcs Nationaux de France”, are part of the cultural identity of the Nation just like the most prestigious cultural facilities. They represent a very strong symbolic value for all publics.
They are internationally recognised as exceptional territories and offer a combination of remarkable terrestrial and maritime areas as well as a method of governance and management that enables them to conserve their richness.
In 2015 there are ten national parks: Vanoise (1963), Port-Cros (1963), Pyrénées (1967), Cévennes (1970), Ecrins (1973), Mercantour (1979), Guadeloupe (1989), French Guiana (2007), Réunion Island (2007) and Calanques (2012).
The national parks cover various terrestrial and maritime domains that represent by their optimal boundaries approximately 54,000 km². Every year they attract more than 7 million visitors.
Parc National de la Vanoise (3730 km²)
Parc National de Port-Cros (1497 km²)
Parc National des Pyrénées (2535 km²)
Parc National des Cévennes (3730 km²)
Parc National des Écrins (2713 km²)
Parc National du Mercantour (2146 km²)
Parc National de la Guadeloupe (2465 km²)
I lived one year in this park when I was 23
Parc Amazonien de Guyane (33851 km²)
Parc National de la Réunion (1931 km²)
Parc National des Calanques (1580 km²)

Today, there are nearly 7,000 national parks around the world, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Following are the most beautiful National Parks to spot the wildlife according to me-
Isle of Mull in Scotland
Brazilian Panatanal, Brazil - The Brazilian Pantanal is essentially a wetland that has around 5000 jaguars roaming in its vicinity.
Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary at Sabah is one place that’ll give you confirmed sightings of Orangutans.

Komodo National Park, Indonesia
The Komodo National Park is located in the Flores Sea in Indonesia. It is characterized by truly unique wildlife and is home to the Komodo Dragon. Here you can feast your eyes on stunning panoramas, where the skies above are a thing of artistry and the ocean around you is just delightful. The water is blue with beautiful untouched beaches and a vibrant reef ecosystem. While sailing from the nearest port of Labuan bajo, you can even see some dolphins and divers will have a ball enjoying the coral life and spotting giant mantarays. The dragons are massive and are located mainly on two islands within the national park - Rinca and Komodo where you will also spot wild buffalo and deer. Sunset is beautiful and you can witness giant bats covering the evening sky with an eerily beautiful quietness.

USA does have among the greatest collection of National Parks - having visited 48 of our 50 states I would say Yellowstone National Park ranks highest or very high.
Internationally my favorite National Park (personally visited, rather than heard about) is Plitvice Lakes in Croatia - absolutely stunning. And because of the Tufa - the waterfalls are said to be constantly changing!

Kalahari Gemsbok National Park encompasses the stunning red sand dunes of the Kalahari Desert.
The Tsitsikamma Park on the Garden Route follows an awe-inspiring coastline

The Painted Desert within the Petrified Forest National Park. Incredibly alien and stunningly beautiful. It was quiet here, the quietest place I've ever been. It almost felt like I had earplugs in, there was such a complete absence of sound. (For perspective's sake, the pictured sand/rock hills were probably 15--20 feet high, perhaps a bit less).
A tour is provide entertainment and also lots knowledge. The world have lots of destination of national park in the world.

Probably the most breath-taking National Park I've been to is the Lake District in Cumbria, England. Countless lakes, hills and some absolutely stunning lakefront towns make this an unmistakable paradise. You can read my article on a weekend I spent in the Lakelands last spring here - A Weekend in the Lake District of England

Having recently travelled to Malaysia I have to give a mention to the Taman Negara National Park. It's believed to be the oldest rainforest in the world, and is home to many rare animals - as well as being very beautiful.
