Been to parks 5-13. Not to bad as I might not get to 1-4 & 14.

I need to visit the last national park in California that we haven't visited...Channel Islands.
Going to one on the list, for the first time, this summer.
(We have only been to two on this list.)

I have been to only two: Great Basin and Pinnacles. I'd like to visit the Channel Islands, but I don't think I'll get to many of the Alaskan Parks. Too far, too hard and I'm too old. Sigh.

I've been to one park on the list: Great Basin. My wife and I went there once, back in the 1990s. We stayed in the campground at 10,000 feet elevation, and it was cold overnight. Our air mattress leaked quickly (after loaning it to our daughter), and we weren't ready for the cold, so we only stayed one night and did not see the bristlecones. We went on the cave tour in the morning on our way out of the park.
I'd love to go to Pinnacles sometime soon. Maybe this year.

Great Basin was interesting. We camped with our son and his wife who climbed Wheeler while my wife and wandered some easier trails around the campground. We also hiked up to the bristlecones and toured the cafe.
We drove through North Cascades a few years ago, stopping to take a couple of short nature trail hikes.
Many years ago, our family (with two almost teenage sons) camped at Guadalupe and climbed Guadalupe Mountain. That was fun. Carol remembers looking down at private airplanes in the valley. That was after we had toured Carlsbad.
