5. tough question
I would have to go with Yellowstone because of the flyfishing. Second choice would be Glacier.

7. Carlsbad Caverns - the Ultimate Democratic Underground
The underground world is fantastic. Carlsbad, although rather touristy is an amazing natural wonder, of huge spaces beneath the ground with fantastic formations. I visited the caves when I was a kid and the long and steep descent through gigantic spaces in the 3-hour tour makes one think they are in the movie "Journey To The Center Of The Earth". The night time emergence of 3 million bats from the large mouth of the cave is also something to behold.

13. Grand Teton has some spectacular backpacking
But Bob Marshall remains my favorite because of the bears, and Strawberry Meadow.

15. Liberty State Park
Jersey City, NJ

On one end is Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty only a few hundred feet away, and the other end of the park is lower manhattan. Great place for a picnic during the summer.
