A ranger at Grand Teton NP years ago had the perfect description of the difference between the NP and adjoining NF when I asked where we could walk our dog. She said go to the NF, the difference is this dotted line on the map.I have found that to be true for most parks we visit.
As for Dry Tortugas NP, if you ever get down to Key West, splurge for the sea plane. It is AMAZING to see the ship wrecks, sea life, and sand bottom from the low flying plane. Take the afternoon flight and you will have the island to yourself after the ferry leaves. They provide snorkeling gear as part of the trip. One of the coolest NP experiences, and we have been to over 40 NP’s.
