20 Least Crowded National Parks of 2009
15 Oct
Not surprisingly, Alaska is home to 4 of the 5 least visited National Parks this year, with Kobuk Valley National Park taking the #1 spot. The park only had 1,250 visitors in 2009. Other parks that made the list are Great Basin National Park in Nevada, Congaree National Park in South Carolina, Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Texas and Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park (pictured above) in Colorado. The L.A. Times has the whole list and more info.

I’m not sure about the rest, but there’s a reason Congaree National Park isn’t crowded. Maybe it’s just me being spoiled by parks in the West, but I found Congaree to be kind of a yawner. Columbians care more about the Gamecocks than they do about camping.
