Cuyahoga Valley among 10 national parks worth spring visit

Cuyahoga Valley National Park is among 10 national parks worth a visit this spring, according to NBC News.

The park's description on the NBC News web site:

Cuyahoga Valley National Park Forests, farmlands and buildings rich in Ohio history — the charms of Cuyahoga Valley are more inviting than awe-inspiring, so it makes sense to slow down while exploring them. A great way is to bike some or all of the 20 miles of the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail in the park and then flag down the scenic railroad — wave both hands so they don’t think you’re just saying hello — for an even more relaxing ride back to your car (one-way: $3).

The others:

Biscayne National Park an hour from Miami.
Capital Reef National Park in Utah.
Death Valley National Park in California.
Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska.
Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona.
Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee.
Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.
Yosemite National Park in California.

That puts Cuyahoga Valley National Park in some pretty impressive company.
