Monocacy Battlefield. It’s a National Historic Site. I’m not sure of the last park. ---

We currently have an exchange student living with us so we have been to Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain Nation Park, Arches, and Canyonlands in the last 6 months. I had never been to Yellowstone before (amazingly); that park is seriously amazing! ---

I have the great good fortune to live 45 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park, so the answer to the OPS question will generally be RMNP. The last national park I traveled to visit was Yellowstone. ---

> [@JohnGalt](#): > > Badlands in South Dakota last August. On the same trip we were also at Mt. Rushmore and Wind Cave. My 7-year old granddaughter got Junior Ranger badges at all three of them. Wife and I did all three of these in 2010 with the two youngest. Been through the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest quite a few times since then, most recently 2 years ago. ---

How about National Lakeshores? When I recently investigated them, I was surprised to learn that there were only 4 of them, they were all on either Lake Michigan or Lake Superior, and that I had visited ALL of them during my lifetime. Sleeping Bear Dunes in MI Indiana Dunes Apostle Islands in WI Pictured Rocks in MI My eldest and I actually swam out to the ice caves at Pictured Rock one amazing day when the water temp was in the 60’s in Lake Superior. A fantastic memory. ---

Grand Teton National Park. Went to Wyoming in July, did most of my hiking in the Bridger-Teton National Forest but I did spend a couple days in Grand Teton. ---

I was just up in the North Cascades (Washington State). It was wet but beautiful. Also, Olympic, Lassen, Redwood, and a bunch of National Forests and Recreation Areas. Stranger [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-national-park-did-you-last-visit/825960.md?page=5)
