Visiting the US national parks is like stepping into the country’s soul—each one a living postcard of breathtaking beauty. From the mist rising over the Grand Canyon at sunrise to the ancient time gone by that makes us ponder what, or who, used to be here, the parks remind us that the greatest treasures aren’t man-made but carved by time, wind, and water. Whether you’re hiking a rugged trail, stargazing under skies away from any light pollution, or simply sitting still to let nature’s soundtrack consume you, the experience is a humbling reminder of the vast and varied beauty this country has to offer.
