How were your adventures in the National Park System last year?/NPS file of Great Sand Dunes National Park.

It's late January, you're already thinking about next summer or the fall somewhere in the National Park System. But what about last year? How was your visit to the parks?

Was the experience everything you hoped it would be?

Were the parks crowded?

Were the lodgings accommodating and worth the cost?

Were the dining rooms up to your expectations?

Were the campgrounds clean and quiet during the quiet hours, or noisy and smoky?

Were rangers visible and filled with great information to help you get the most from your visit?

Overall, what grade would you attach to your 2023 national park travels?

Share your thoughts, travelers, and help your fellow travelers know what to experience.

My biggest let-down was Canyon de Chelly NM.

Agreed. The solution to the mess that is Canyon DC NM is for the NPS to buy the property from the Navajo "nation"  in order to preserve it as it should be.  These public-private partnerships just don't work for a myriad of reasons, one major contributor being the merry-go-round that is tribal politics.

Until then, we'll have chaos at places like Canyon DC.
