My wife and I are having our first visit to Yellowstone in two weeks (we very recently moved out west), so I started thinking about the NPS. If you're not in the USA and have never been to one of our parks, you can describe whatever's equivalent (as far as things can be across nations) for your life. If you've never been to a single national park, which one(s) would you like to see before you die?

Well... Actually we have quite a few of those over here.
I'm not extremely proud to admit, that I have only visited the closest one to my hometown, which technically both is and isn't located here, since it's a shared location with the neighboring town. It's called Hiidenportti.

EDIT: I just noticed, that I was incorrect, saying that it wasn't completely on this side of the city border. It's just such a vast area, that certain distances seem to go forever and ever.

I've never been to any outside of California. I would love to see the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone, though.

Yosemite. I thought I would see El Capitan, but it was already late afternoon and a twenty mile drive, so I said to myself "Why bother? I've seen a mountain before." One big benefit from the trip was that I learned how to pronounce "Tuolumne": wrong - every time.
