Yosemite in 1986. Now? Crater Lake in Winter. I really don't enjoy crowds.

Went to Crater Lake in the winter. Saw nothing but falling snow and fog. Never saw the lake.

Do the Jr Ranger program at each, cool unique souvenir and learn a ton.

We've had our kids do that at a few parks. They've really enjoyed it.

I was taken to Glacier when I was a kid, and probably had a bad attitude.

It's not a national park, but you need to do the Sawtooth Nat'l Forest. Rent a cabin or camp at Redfish Lake. Do a float
