That often means that the most popular countries and destinations are over-represented and that these are more the favorites rather than the best. However, it’s still very interesting to know which ones come up most often.
Here are the national parks outside Canada that are the favorite of our fans.
1. Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming/Montana/Idaho, U.S.)
