A Hat Tip to the NPS Centennial

Today marks the centennial of the National Park Service, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I've looked forward to this day all year. As a rather big fan of the NPS, I've visited about 20 new sites this year, some big and many smaller ones. I learned or greatly enjoyed something at every single location. Since I have posted a few other lists here, I thought it might be interesting to do the same for the parks I've visited to date: Alphabetically by state, here goes... Denali NP AK Kenai Fjords NP AK Fort Smith NHS AR Hot Springs NP AR Pea Ridge NMP AR Grand Canyon NP AZ Lake Mead NRA AZ Petrified Forest NP AZ Death Valley NP CA Golden Gate NRA CA Lassen Volcanic NP CA Lava Beds NM CA Redwood Forest NP CA San Francisco Maritime NHP CA Whiskeytown NRP CA Yosemite NP CA Colorado NM CO Mesa Verde NP CO Roc
