Top Five Coolest and Unique National/ State Parks

Since most people go to national parks and road trips for summer, I made a list of some really cool and pretty national parks that either I've been to or just google-searched. ( : Ok, get out your map, because we're planning next summer's vacations.

#1- Haleakala, Maui. Wake up at two in the morning, Hawaiian time. Then take a two- hour drive to the most amazing sunrise you'll ever see. It's Haleakala, in Maui, one of the islands of Hawaii. You overlook beautiful clouds and a crater as you see what people say is one of the most beautiful sunrises in the
world !

#2-  Zion Canyon. Take a road trip to Utah, and you wont expect to see Sand Castles and a big blue ocean. However, most people describe the monuments of Zion Canyon as "Sand Castles of the Desert." The sandstone cliffs and rocks of zion come in shades of pink and cream, and range in height.

#3-  Yosemite. Yosemite isn't just beautiful, but has a lot of history come with it. It was one of the very first national parks. It has gorgeous waterfalls, scenery, wildlife, and lush forestry.  For daring people, you can climb Half-dome, which is a granite rock in the shape of a, you guessed it, Half Dome.

#4- Everglades National Park. No, it's not just a big swamp. It's an extremely unique landscape with very rare and endangered species. Lots of people each and everyday take hikes and tours in the Everglades. While taking your tour, you will see rare birds of florida and alligators.

#5- Grand Canyon. The Grand canyon was carved by just a tiny little river, the Colorado River, and now is a National Park in Arizona. You will see native animals to Arizona as well as beautiful trees and greenery.
