Great idea, I loved that documentary. Beautiful photos everyone! (I'll skip Rainier, it's so well-covered already and I actually don't have any great photos online...) North Cascades

Now that you've been to many of Utah's National Parks, what's your favorite -- if you are able to choose just one?

[GaliWalker]

For me, Zion, without a doubt (though I still haven't been to Capitol Reef).

[Tigerotor77W]

Very interesting. I've only been to Zion (and then only for a day trip), and one of the responses from someone else who had also visited was that the place was like Disneyland with all the shuttles and hordes.

Part of the NPS, low profile and close to home. I'm sure others have better photos. I've never managed a visit on a "nice" day. Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve:

Managed to make it six National Parks this year so far, with three new ones (and possibly another new one soon). Here are a couple of photos from Shenandoah NP, from my first ever visit yesterday:
