Many of you living in southwest Alabama have been following the news about the possible closing of Little River State Forest (formerly Claude D. Kelley State Park) and when the latest edition of Outside magazine arrived in my mailbox today, I thought it timely to pass along to you their list of America’s “Great Parks.”
The list, which is featured in the May issue, provides readers with information about “America’s wild and relatively untrampled state parks, national lakeshores and recreation areas.” If you’re looking for ideas about great places to visit, you likely won’t go wrong with a visit to any of these places. Here's the list.
1. Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area, Colorado
2. South Cumberland State Park, Tennessee
3. North Cascades National Park, Washington
4. Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Michigan
5. Baxter State Park, Maine
6. Harriman State Park, Idaho
7. Point Reyes National Seashore, California
8. Grand Gulch Primitive Area, Utah
9. Big Bend National and State Parks, Texas
I’ve never been to any of these places, but if you have, I’d like to hear about it, so drop me an e-mail or post a comment below to let us know what you thought of the above-mentioned locations.
Lee, we've been to the Black Canyon in Gunnison, Colo. Like nothing I've ever seen before. I was totally possessed by the desire to be a bird for a day. There were swallows sailing around on the breeze. I so desperately wanted to fly to the bottom of the canyon to see the river and back up again. You must go... http://www.flickr.com/photos/48742231@N08/4459881011/
