National Park League Table

The table below ranks the parks we visited, according to our complete experience as opposed to a ranking based on the primary feature in the park (like the amphitheatre at Bryce for example). It's worth pointing out that the park in 7th place was *amazing* meaning that the standard overall was incredibly high.

1. Capitol Reef National Park, Southern Utah	Beautiful, understated, geologically splendid, historic and quiet
2. Joshua Tree National Park, California	Desert beauty, fantastic rocks, fragrant air, joshua trees and wildlife.
3. Sequoia National Park, California	Wonderful, enormous trees and lovely mountain views.
4. Zion National Park, Southern Utah	Magnificent sandstone walls and all round beauty especially when away from the crowds
5. Bryce Canyon National Park, Southern Utah	A unique experience in the amphitheatre but a slightly limited park apart from that
6. Death Valley	Weird but wonderful. We didn't stay in this park otherwise it may well have ended up higher in the table.
7. Grand Canyon National Park	The truly staggering Grand Canyon itself, pushed into 7th place by APVOS (Awesome Panaramic View Overload Syndrome).
