Another one of those "best of" lists

 

I noted earlier that I'm an easy mark for these "best of" lists.  This one (from thediscoverer.com blog) lists the best state parks in each state.  Now, of course that's subjective, but of course I read it anyway.  I've been to a few state parks in my life, and I am/was curious which ones (if any) on the list I've been to.

Turns out I've been to a couple of them.  Also turns out I missed a few I should have seen when I had the chance, and there are a couple more I'd like to have the wherewithal and time to visit.

The Best State Park in Each State

It turns out I've been to 12 of them.  (Guess which ones!  If anyone responds to this post, I'll be stunned, but I am going to put this on Twitter/X.  Maybe somebody will make a good guess.)

Of all the ones listed that I haven't been to, the one I'd put at the top of my list is Tahquamenon Falls State Park in Michigan.  A couple of the ones I should have visited when I had the chance are Starved Rock in Illinois and Valley of Fire in Nevada. 

Tahquamenon Falls shows why it's worth visiting in the autumn:
