Crowd-Free National Parks Top Ten
Visit with magnificent Mother Nature in (near) solitude
If you prefer to visit with magnificent Mother Nature in (near) solitude, you'll find our favorite crowd-free national parks in the US and Canada every bit as dramatic as the big headliners, yet agreeably free of the usual mobs. We’ve laid out the details on how to take in the grandest of canyons from a little-known access point and have proposed two further options in America’s heartland, at a park boasting lunar-like landscapes and verdant prairies and another promising one-of-a-kind vistas of sweeping sandstone arches. Tree-huggers will relish their seclusion at two ancient forests on both coasts, while water-lovers will delight in untamed Texan rafting adventures, snorkeling at an underwater Floridian marine park, or whale-watching on a Canadian cape. The more remote you go, the more likely you are to find that elusive solitude; to that end, we also highly recommend an archipelago dubbed the “Canadian Galapagos” and an island park home to the world’s tallest volcano and the Hawaiian goddess Pele.
