The world is full of many natural wonders. In the United States, national parks draw in millions of visitors all year round. While places like Yellowstone boast famous geysers such as Old Faithful and the vibrant colors of Grand Prismatic Spring, that is just a fraction of what the rest of the world has to offer.
Here are a few of the most beautiful — and most visited — national parks around the globe.
Located in California, Yosemite National Park has over 750 miles of trails for travelers to explore. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the 1980s and is recognized for giant sequoia, glaciers and granite cliffs.
The park is home to famous spots like Tunnel View and Valley View and famous landmarks like Half Dome and El Capitan.
The Galapagos National Park is made up of volcanic islands hundreds of miles off the coast of Ecuador. The park encompasses an area of 3,040 square miles and is the country’s first national park. The government of Ecuador declared 97% of the Galapagos Islands area as protected and it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
