I think the National Parks are great and anyone who has the opportunity to see them should do so. That said, there are sooooo many things to see in this country-state parks, national parks, local parks, beaches, mountains, forests, tourist traps, interstates, back roads-just get out and GO!
Local places? Accept if you're 3000 miles from home, plan on using the America the Beautiful pass and camping in national parks. The alternatives to overnight camping/Rv'ing in national parks for any length of time are very expensive.
