90. Favorite Toddler National Parks

So many good ones to choose from, but a few favorites so far:

ZION - Many different options of types of hikes from Angel's Landing to the Narrows to the different shorter trails along the park road. Biking down the canyon was a lot of fun with Jordan in tow. Lots of great memories, except covid. Curse you, park shuttle!

YOSEMITE - Again, different options for hikes and biking around the valley. The Ahwahnee hotel for breakfast buffet was a fun experience as well. Jordan loved playing at mirror lake and looking at the view from Glacier Point.

BANFF - So many different areas to explore, including along icefields parkway. From glacial lakes, to mountains, to logs to play on, to gondolas, to parks.

WHITE SANDS - There's the obvious, the giant sand box. Sledding, building piles of sand, drawing in the sand... plus the bonus of the amazing sunsets (and I assume great star-gazing though we didn't go for that this time).

JOSHUA TREE - There was a lot of variety in the different areas. Jordan loved running around the cactus garden and climbing on the rocks in various area. Great sunsets and star-gazing.

REDWOOD - Watching Jordan do some of her early hiking among the giant trees was great. She liked using her hiking gear and do it on her own. She got to play with sticks, hike across small streams, and feel even tinier than usual with the super tall trees.

OLYMPIC - Lots of variety of environments in the different parts of the park. The rainforest, the beach, the mountains... What else could a toddler ask for?
