replying to @EverybodysNPs @EverybodysNPs A10) I think spots like Snail Shell Harbor at Fayette State Park in Michigan's Upper Peninsula are every bit as beautiful as anything you'd find in a National Park. #ParkChat

A10 State Parks usually can't compete with National Parks for spectacular scenery, but they often can for unique geology #ParkChat

Q11. Given proximity and quantity of many comparatively to National Park brethren, are State Parks generally more popular in the USA? #ParkChat

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 @59NationalParks @EverybodysNPs If you do go through the area, stop at Edge of the Cedars state park. It's a museum for the ancient Puebloans. #ParkChat https://t.co/fM2mLOfZFm

A10) Niagara Falls State Park competes pretty well on scenery with the best national parks! #parkchat @NYstateparks

A11 I would say yes. I was surprised at how crowded Bear Mountain SP was the last time I was there. On a par with Yosemite Valley #ParkChat

A11. Good question. My guess is by total visitor numbers alone, yes. State parks are closer and often more economical. #ParkChat

A10 Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park in Montana ranks up there in cave scenery. #ParkChat

Give it up for our excellent guest host @EverybodysNPs Great job! I’m also recommending that everyone check out their excellent pod casts about the Parks. Time well spent. #ParkChat
famTravelsUSA
replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute I would guess that state parks are more popular with locals and not so much with tourists from outside the USA like you find at many national parks #ParkChat

A11 For general recreation as opposed to a destination, yes. State parks around here are often used for quick hikes, picnics, going for a run, etc. #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A11: Honestly I don’t think so. I think they are taken for granted and many do not realize what is in their own backyard. #ParkChat

replying to @EverybodysNPs @EverybodysNPs A9. Yes, I like to plan state park visits, especially historic sites. Once again, I must mention Custer State Park, conveniently located alongside Wind Cave NP, Mammoth Site, and Mt Rushmore. #parkchat
