BTW there are lots of lists online about which parks are open and which aren't. This is the one I've found to be the most accurate: https://rvshare.com/national-state-park-closures
I kept checking manually each one, so thank you for this.
Oh how I can't wait to get back to the southwest!

The other issue I'm monitoring is southwest state's restrictions on visiting NY'ers, 14d quarantine etc.
I've been looking mostly at AZ, but in general I haven't found any lifting of these restrictions, or even discussions of it.
Anyone see anything about this?

Not planning on going for another month, though I'm hoping that by then, all those NPs will be open (at least the main attractions therein).
At least UT has opened some, but I'd still be going through AZ...

Most states are lifting those restrictions. Seems that most everyone wants to be open (to some extent) by Memorial Day.

I haven't found a list, I just google specific states for updates.

SD,ND,NE have been open the entire time, for those that haven't been yet, could be a great option.

So weird... I was watching a camera review yesterday and he's shooting in this "cool place in South Dakota" and I'm thinking hey, that might be worth a visit.

Now you post this, which I've never heard of. So I Google it, and there it is. What are the odds!

visitors flock to the GSM after it reopens

Same misleading telephoto images as always ::). I'm getting tired of this agenda.

Just chanced on this thread. I love National Parks but unfortunately haven't been to that many. Goal is to visit them all (in the US).
I don't really like rating them because I loved them all (except maybe Gateway Arch NP which I just felt was mis-classified as a NP...)

1) Rocky Mountain NP
2) Acadia NP
3) Indiana Dunes NP
4) Congaree NP
5) Shenandoah NP
6) Cuyahoga Valley NP
7) Hot Springs NP
8) Mammoth Cave NP
9) Gateway Arch NP
