Looking to hit the great outdoors this summer? There’s no better place to start than one of America’s majestic national parks. The wide open spaces and awe-inspiring mountain peaks offer a chance to take in mother nature’s bounty — from kayaking through a deep ravine to horseback riding over rocky terrain. Visit Startle.com for Forbes Travel Guide’s take on the five national parks worth visiting now (plus the best places to stay nearby).
