In your lifetime, how many designated National Parks have you been to? For those of you who aren't in the United States, national parks, by whatever name they might be referred to, in your own country, can be included here; for that matter, if you've visited national parks in another country, include them as well.

There are 63 in the United States. Although I have been in most of the 48 contiguous states, I have not been to many national parks. I have been to Acadia National Park, Redwood National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Yosemite National Park. I have camped at Joshua Tree a few times, but that was before it was designated a national park.
 
Except for Acadia, which is one of the smallest national parks, here in Maine, the others were ones that I visited with my son, since I was always looking things to do and places to go.
 
I looked up the list and my "visited" count seems to be at 30 out of the total of 63 national parks. Now if you want to talk about National Historic Monuments and National Historic Sites and National Historic Landmarks (and whatever else they may call them), the count would be larger.

Quiz: What's the National Historic Site/Monument that moves? You might have been on it..... I have.

Mesa verde
Hot Springs
Smokey Mtns
Grand Canyon
Big Bend
Grand Teton
Rocky Mtn

We have one of those Senior Passes for the National Parks. We also saw a lot of state parks and Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds in beautiful areas.
