Boundary Waters

 


Welcome to Boundary Waters!

I'm going to be honest; this isn't a national park. It's a state park right on the Minisotas border with Canada. But with that said, this park spans much of the state and goes way into Canada, making this truly one of a few international parks in the world. As you canoe the crystal clear waters, there are few references to what country you're in, making it easy to cross without even knowing.




To give you an idea of what it's like to visit Boundary Waters, let's start with the water! The water here is so clean that you can drink it directly from the lake! At times, the water can be so calm that it can serve as a mirror of the sky above. This makes it ideal for the countless different animal species that live within the park year-round. Looking over the countless islands of the park, you can likely spot everything from grizzly bears to moose, otters, and even the state-famous Loon Pictured above.


Having recently visited this park, I have to say that it is probably my favorite place to relax. If you seek to get away from it all and want to explore the world around you, this is my number one pick. During my stay, there were whole days where we didn't see anyone outside of our crew. It's truly a sight to behold and I can't recommend it enough!

Spanning 3470 square miles along the border of Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana, Yellowstone is home to countless natural landmarks in a relatively dense space. From the shooting waters of Old Faithful Guiser to the wide expanse of Lamar Valley or the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, there's so much to explore all over the park! Over 4.5 million individuals from all over the country and worldwide visit the park annually, making it a popular destination. With many coming not only to see the land marks, but the animals too.

The Great Smokey Mountains

  Welcome to the Great Smokey Mountains With an annual visitor count of 13.3 million, it is the most visited park in the United States. Probably best known for its rolling mountains, whitewater rapids, and wildlife, there's always something to explore. These mountains stretch for upwards of 816 square miles, making it one of the largest parks in the eastern United States. Looking over the landscape, it becomes easy to understand how the park got its name as the mist that hovers over the mountains virtually every morning. Stretching the borders of Tennessee and North Carolina, you'll likely spot some of the most notable wildlife in the region. Stop by for a day or two, and you'll likely spot elk, deer, coyotes, beavers, and even the frequent black bear!  If you ever get tired of the park, you'll never be too far from Gatlinburg, a city like no other, serving as a city in the center of the park. This town, despite much of it being a bunch of tourist traps, also offers vis
