America has 63 National Parks but only 47 of those are in the continuous states. When we are planning a trip, if we are traveling through a state with a National Park, we try to stay close enough to the park so that we can spend some time exploring what it has to offer. We chose the route we are currently taking so we could check out Congaree National Park here in SC. Congaree is only 18 miles from Columbia, the states capital.
The park preserves the largest tract of old growth bottomland hardwood forest left in the United States. The bald cypress and other hardwoods, growing in this floodplain, are some of the tallest in the world; even taller than trees in the Amazon rain forest. The park has lots of cool trails and even has a “canoe trail” for those who want to explore the park by water.
