Deep thought… The answer is 42. Wait, let’s go higher. There are more than 400 national parks across the country. We love exploring parks off the beaten path. They can be a great option for travelers looking for all the beauty of nature, hiking trails, and rich history, with fewer crowds and lines. Visit the NPS website to search a park by topic, activity, or to find a park that may be closer than you think.
