With over 800 miles of hiking trails, 700 miles of fishable streams, and more flowering plants than any other American national park, Great Smoky Mountain National Park (Tennessee and North Carolina) is also America's most visited national park.

Many people forget that the two-mile stretch of the National Mall, in Washington, D.C., between the Capital and the Potomac River is national park land.

Re: American National Parks
Death Valley National Park, in Nevada and California, is open year-round but with average temperatures at 100°F by May, most visitors wait until the winter months to check it out. In July, that average climbs to 116°F, but that also means no crowds.
