Seven, no six more US national parks to see—out of 63. National Park Service, don’t add any more parks to the list before next year or else I’ll never finish seeing them all. I have five more national parks to see in Alaska (eight total there), and American Samoa is a national park. California has the most national parks—nine.
Yesterday I visited Voyageurs National Park, which is on the Minnesota-Canada border. It is about a third water with few hiking trails. I hiked, while nearly everyone else—locals and tourists—were on boats. It seems like everyone in Minnesota owns a boat, whereas in Alaska it seems like everyone owns a plane.
