There is so much natural wonder to witness in America that will inspire awe in even the most cynical explorer. The country is full of breathtaking state and national parks that give adventurers, amateur enthusiasts and experienced hikers alike, a stunning snapshot of America's natural beauty.

LoveExploring compiled a list of the "best national park" in every state, from "big-hitting" destinations that draw in millions of visitors each year to those featuring a "lesser-known monument or historic site." According to the site, the top choice for Colorado is Rocky Mountain National Park, a mountainous region of the expansive Rocky Mountains standing tall in the Centennial State that is described as a "hiker's dream."

Here's what the site had to say about this gorgeous spot:

"A craggy thread running from Canada down to New Mexico, the Rocky Mountains are among the most spectacular in North America. A great swathe of the range is protected in this national park, which also takes in lakes, lush valleys, and evergreen forests. The place is a hiker's dream, with 355 miles of trails wiggling through the landscape, while Lumpy Ridge and Longs Peak are popular with climbers."
