What are your guys fave US national parks for hiking (not camping). Have passes need to use them. 2 ppl trip. Don't mind long overnight hikes but mind having to lug around cooking shit and fucktons of water/having to purify water.
 
Did Death Valley 2 years ago - way underrated, bring gallons of water. Also did Red Rocks (technically a state park) and Valley of Fire that trip.
Yellowstone last year - everything else kind of boring after that.
I've been on vacation the last week - did Gettysburg, Shenandoah and DC. Going home tomorrow - sucks.
Done Acadia in the past too.

Each one unique, guess it depends what you want - hikes (Shenandoah and Acadia - some are more rock scrambles than hikes), history (Gettysburg/DC monuments), natural wonders and wildlife (Yellowstone), endurance (Death Valley).

Yellowstone is a must do - huge, diverse, full of wildlife - geysers, thermal pools, canyons, waterfalls. Bison, elk, deer, bears all over. Grand Teton not far too.

Next up on my wish list are Yosemite, Bryce and Zion.

Thanks for chiming in. Talked to my gf about it, we're going to Las Vegas then doing Zion.
 
I was just in California and had a choice between visiting San Francisco or Yosemite. Kinda wish I'd gone to Yosemite instead of San Fran. The USS Pampanito was beautiful though.
