4.Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Alaska
Situated in the Brooks Range, the most northern mountain range on the continent of North America, this remote park is accessible only by boat, foot, or plane. It has no buildings or man-made hiking trails. The pair of shutterbugs said this is the park they would “most like to photograph again” because they “had to pack light” on their trip and had to leave their larger cameras behind.
Take in the stunning views on a rafting trip along the wild rivers. See the untouched wilderness. Go hiking around the rugged Arrigetch Peaks with their jagged granite spires, plunging valleys, and intense blue alpine lakes.
3.Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana
Famous for its geothermal features and impressive peaks, this national park is mainly located in the northwestern section of Wyoming but also extends into the states of Idaho and Montana. It is the planet’s first national park. The Hahnels fondly remember hiking the popular Upper Geyser Basin Trail in order to see the great geyser erupt at sunset.
The national park’s plentiful peaks, forests, rivers, and meadows are the home of bears, bighorn sheep, bison, coyotes, deer, elk, moose, and wolves. Be sure to explore the Lamar River Trail too.
