I've been to all 63 US national parks. These 4 are my favorites — but these 3 didn't impress me much.

On the other hand, I felt that Indiana Dunes National Park was underwhelming.

In my opinion, you should visit nearby Biscayne National Park or jet set to the Virgin Islands for a more immersive tropical park experience.
