4runnerguy makes this easier for me. Have done all but 3 of the NP's and all but 5 of the NM's he mentions. And some of the ones in HI johndeere4955 mentions. And many of these several times and will be again this summer and next year in the started planning stage already.

Interesting the addition of the ones in Canada. We love BC and that is in the plans for 2016 along with Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Glacier again.

Also he mentions ones in BC some people overlook and should not (and in there again for 2016) - people get to Waterton, Banff and Jasper but you should take time for Yoho, Glacier (yes, they have a Glacier as well), Revelstoke and Kootenay.

We just got back from first of MANY adventures in our tt. We drove from nw florida to yosemite and back around. We visited Yosemite, Grand Canyon and the petrified forest. We loved it so much that we are already starting to plan our 2016 trip to yellowstone.. I plan to add many more to the list of national parks by the end of that trip!! ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks to the USAF we have lived in many places and have RV'd for nearly 30 years - counted 46 National Parks we have visited and then numerous seashores, monuments, historical sites and other national park sites.

Not sure if being picky about National Parks or National Historic Sites or whatever are to be included but I sure would include everything as they are all so wonderful.

Why would ANYONE want to go back to Yellowstone for a 7 time?! Answer - because it is worth it! (We also have returned there and many others several times).

I did not do a count but would guess in the 3 dozen range but maybe more depending on how one wants to reply....I like the full spectrum count myself and find it very interesting.

If talking about NPs with CGs, then the score is 28. Add plenty more if talking about National property without CGs.
