Welcome to I Love National Parks, the website for reviews from a personal perspective on many of America's great National Parks! What makes this site unique is all the reviews and recommendations are first-hand accounts from me and my wife, and the photography (all original) is indicative of what you can achieve on a typical outing. We also visit National Parks like a typical family, mostly from the car with a few strategic hikes, so if this is your style, you should find these pages useful in planning your trip. I hope you enjoy your adventure with me, my family and friends as we share the good, bad, strange and funny while exploring some of the most breathtaking scenery on Earth.

I just got back from a very interesting trip to Washington D.C.  Besides being the Nation's Capitol, D.C. is home to battlefields and is next door to Shenandoah National Park. I hope you enjoy the new pages from this trip, including a "super page" for the National Mall!   Please take a moment to provide some feedback via the e-mail link on the "about the site" page.  Let us know what else you'd like to see to make this site more useful to you.
