My husband and I visited Lake Tahoe on our honeymoon. While it was absolutely beautiful, we decided to take a day trip to Yosemite National Park—and it was completely worth the early morning drive.
Yellowstone National Park was the first national park in the United States, established all the way back in 1872. My husband and I visited a few years ago, and it was an unforgettable trip.
Saguaro National Park is best known for its iconic saguaro cacti. These are the classic cacti most people picture when they hear the word “cactus,” with their tall arms reaching up toward the sky. When designing this crochet block, I knew I had to feature a saguaro cactus set in front of a mountain landscape to capture the essence of the park.
During our trip to Colorado, my family visited Mesa Verde National Park. This park stood out because it felt more like a historical site compared to the other national parks we visited. Mesa Verde means “green table” in Spanish, which is a very fitting description. The park sits on a plateau covered in vegetation—hence the name.
My son is currently obsessed with volcanoes, so Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park has quickly become one of our favorite places to explore—at least virtually! One of our favorite activities lately has been visiting the park’s Facebook page to view photos and watch videos of volcanic eruptions.
Grand Teton National Park is one of my favorite sections of this blanket because it represents one of my favorite national parks. The Teton Mountains are absolutely gorgeous and make this park unforgettable.
Dry Tortugas National Park is truly one of a kind. My husband and I visited in November 2021, and it was an unforgettable trip—even more so because it was nearly 80 degrees there while we had snow flurries back home.
Crater Lake National Park is one of the prettiest parks—at least in my mom’s opinion! I haven’t had the chance to visit yet, but it’s high on my list.
Arches National Park is one park that I haven’t had the chance to visit yet—but it’s definitely on my list. The unique rock formations make it one of the most iconic national parks in the United States.
My husband and I love visiting national parks on vacation. Hiking new trails, exploring beautiful landscapes, and experiencing nature together has become one of our favorite traditions. Some of our favorite parks we’ve visited include Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Dry Tortugas National Park, and Rocky Mountain National Park. Each park has its own unique beauty, from geysers and mountains to crystal-clear water and wildlife.
