Zion National Park

Make sure you bring an extra memory card for your camera, because nearly every square inch of this park is picture worthy. Two thousand foot tall sandstone bluffs seem irresponsibly tall, yet millions of people make the pilgrimage to climb these cliffs every year. Towering vertical walls feel like the world’s largest tunnel is missing its ceiling. It’s easy to see how some might feel religious in such an incredible natural sanctuary.

Guadalupe Mountains National Park

This is a park for hikers. The Natural Park Service has deliberately prevented development within the park, so there are only a few miles of paved roads within the park, and that’s just to get to trailheads or the visitors center. Towering over the Chihuahuan Desert, Guadalupe Peak is the highest point in Texas.
