DH and I are planning a trip in the US for August or early September. We can't decide between these four national parks, and would like your advice.
1. Yosemite
2. Yellowstone
3. Glacier
4. Grand Canyon
We've never been to any of these four (pretty sad!). We live in the upper midwest and have probably 10 days to spend. Our anticipated modes of transportation will be: Yosemite: fly, car rental. Yellowstone or Glacier: Amtrak, car rental. Grand Canyon: drive.
A little bit about us: We like trees, mountains, flowers, wildlife, etc. We are not particularly outdoorsy and like short hikes. We like camping when there's modern bathroom facilities nearby. We don't have an RV. Also, we're on a budget, which makes Grand Canyon more attractive because we can drive there.
My concern is that 10 days is not a lot of time, especially since transportation could easily take up 2 days.
Which would you pick out of the four if you were us? And why?
Thanks for taking the time to respond!
