National parks are as built into the fabric of American society and culture as baseball and road trips down Route 66. The National Parks Service (NPS), the government organization charged with preserving America’s natural resources, currently looks after 417 sites that cover more than 84 million acres of protected lands in every US state and territory. And people are flocking to them. The NPS recently reported it received more than 331 million visits in 2016 — breaking all previous records — during its centennial year. Here’s a look at the 10 most-visited national parks and why you should plan to visit them, too.

With incredible diversity and a near-endless supply of things to see and do, US national parks continue to pull in record numbers of visitors from within the country and around the world. Last year, the national parks system once again broke its record for the highest number of visits, for the third year in a row. There were 331 million recreational visits to parks in 2016, up 23.7 million visitors from 2015.

But naturally, not all parks manage to draw the same numbers of eager travelers. So according to the US Department of the Interior, these are the top 10 most visited national parks, by visitation numbers.
