There’s nothing wrong with seeing a national park from the road. In fact, some of the best views are found at scenic pullouts. For example, in Glacier National Park there’s a pullout along Going-to-the-Sun Road that boasts breathtaking views of Jackson Glacier. Still, because most national parks are massive – even the smallest national park, Hot Springs National Park, is 5,500 acres – there’s lots of ground that can’t be covered by car. Fortunately, the National Park Service is pretty open-minded when it comes to ways, besides hiking, that park visitors can experience their protected lands. From snorkeling to dogsledding (obviously not in the same place) here are seven unique ways to experience some of your favorite national parks.
