|Updated:
Often vast, America’s 62 national parks cover more than 52 million acres—plenty of space for your family to spread out and enjoy their natural wonders this summer and fall.
And while always iconic in their own way, offering everything from endless glaciers to geothermal wonders, each park is unique. Some attract millions, others, just a relative handful of visitors.
