The 20 best U.S. national parks to explore now

There are a lot of national parks to see, so here's a list to start with

Glacier National Park

As filmmaker Ken Burs rightly described, the national park system was "America's best idea." Today, these nature oases see over 331 million recreational visits per year, by last year's count. According to the National Park Service, 2024 saw the highest number of U.S. national park visitors of all time, as people from all walks of life sought a bit more of the outdoors. If that's you, it can be overwhelming to try and figure out which park to explore. From sea to shining sea, I've compiled a list of our favorite U.S. national parks that will satisfy your taste for adventure.
National Park Pass programs

Before we get into our list of the best national parks, we need to have a quick chat about the various National Park Pass programs. These passes will give you entry to the 430 parks across the U.S., and it's a good idea to book them in advance even though many also allow you to pay with card only at the entrance gates. Depending on your needs, there are different types of passes to choose from.

The culinary experience at Atlantis Paradise Island you won’t find elsewhere

Flavors that extend beyond the Bahamas

Atlantis Paradise Island

When I think of a Bahamian vacation, the first foods that come to mind are conch fritters and a delicious Bahama Mama. These classic Bahamas foods make for the perfect lunchtime bites, great for when you need a light meal while sitting poolside. Yet, when traveling to a tropical destination, going out to dinner is the part of the day I look forward to the most. Come dinner time, I seek more than just good food. I want an experience.

As great as it is to nibble on snacks for lunch, I'm already planning what to order for dinner hours in advance. If you're anything like me (and don't even need a menu because you've already studied it online), the food on your vacation can make or break the experience. Here's how Atlantis Paradise Island sets itself apart from the typical Bahamian vacation through its unique culinary scene.
