Today (February 10, 2017): Travel tip: How to visit the National Parks in Canada and USA for free?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

My fascination for\u00a0luxury travel pales in comparison to my travel passion for trekking in the great outdoors and being at one with nature. Yes, I still prefer a simple cabin in a grandiose wilderness spot over a luxury hotel. And when it comes to natural splendor, it’s hard to beat the wilderness experiences to be found\u00a0in the National Parks of Canada and the USA.<\/p>\n

Last summer, I enjoyed a(nother) terrific holiday in the Canadian Rockies, a\u00a0pristine wilderness areas on a scale difficult to imagine. Few places in the world offer such a diverse range of scenery and activities, from kayaking\u00a0and spectacular drives\u00a0to backcountry hiking and wildlife spotting.\u00a0I previously shared with you the top 10 best sights and activities in Banff, Yoho, Kootenay and Jasper National Park<\/a>, as well as my top 10 list of the best\u00a0hotels & lodges in the Canadian Rockies<\/a>\u00a0(which includes several trip reports and Youtube clips).<\/p>\n

I have previously visited most\u00a0of the USA National Parks, and I am going back this summer<\/a>. The crown jewels of the USA’s National Park system are all located in the West, with the most famous ones being Grand Teton & Yellowstone National Park (wildlife, mountains, geysers), Yosemite National Park (mountains, valleys), Glacier National Park (mountains and grizzlies), and Grand Canyon National Park (canyons). Hawaii and Alaska also boast some national parks that offer otherworldly scenery. The USA’s National Parks rank on quite a few of my to 10 travel lists:<\/p>\n
