I’m not just a world traveler. I have also traveled extensively through my own country: The United States.
Here is a list of sites with in the US National Park Service which I have visited. There are approximately 400 locations in the NPS system, including parks monuments, battlefields, historical monuments, recreation areas and wilderness.
A visit usually means a trip to the visitor center, unless it was closed. Visiting a trail usually means visiting a location on the trail, which is a pretty loose definition.
The list is in alphabetical order by state.
