National park, I'm planning my next several vacations around them (if I don't end up house poor and doing staycations because I put all my money into a house and need time to work on projects in it (still and if, haven't bought anything yet))
 
NF hands down. I had my fun in my youth with theme parks. (Cliff hanger, hammer head ECT..) All things not easy on the body. Now I find my joy and peace with my Lord in his creation. Though if you noticed not a fan of the national parks. I.E. Yellowstone, ECT.. I not a fan of bumper to bumper traffic or ignorance. I find the local hidden gems.FB_IMG_1534891293368.jpg

I've only been to the Rio Grande as a kid. I worked in Woodland Park, so I drove up Pikes Peak., took my son to the air force museum, 7 falls, and Garden of the God's. There also. After that, all the hidden jewels like coalminers road ECT... Never been to any of the others, though not sure if Cades Cove is state or national. I did promise a friend I'd go my next time back. He was born into its history and promised a private tour. Will kinda be like walking through history with a grandpa as the narrator. I do look forward to that.

There comes a time in life where a waterfall becomes more beautiful than a waterslide I think. I did atleast for me. How bout you?

I have been to Niagara Falls twice and the two waterparks in Walt Disney World many times, Mayday Falls in Typhoon Lagoon is an awesome waterslide. The other water park is Blizzard Beach and the water slides are great there too. I have never been to a national park.

Natural parks, all the way. Theme parks are okay as destination vacations. I'll visit Disney World someday, but first I want to see more of the natural wonders God created. They're far more awe-inspiring, IMHO.
 
I'm always awe struck by the rugged beauty of nature and when I outgrew Disney land I learned to appreciate the glories god has provided. I've often thought of taking the amtrack cross country jus to see more than I can from a car window.
