It has it all ...great scenery and human-made attractions. The cliff dwellings are incredible, but without the natural scenery, would just be another Aztec Ruins NM. The best U.S. National Monument: Lava Beds NM in N California Lava flows, hills to climb, Indian wars, caves to explore, petroglyphs ...why isn't this place a National Park. It sure is better than most of them. The worst U.S. National Park: Guadaloupe Mts. in Texas It has the highest point in Texas (1500') which you can climb in a wheelchair in 10 minutes. Besides that, there is nothing else there. Did Texas buy a national park???
