The #3 most visited national park in the United States for a reason! A must do for it's stunning mountain vistas and incredible wildlife (what could be described as the American Serengeti)! Best way to explore the park; head off into the backcountry with over 300 miles of premier hiking trails to choose from. Arguably the best hiking in North America!
