Discover whitewater rivers, brightly colored cars, silver airplanes and green oaks. South Carolina is a living coloring book with black-and-white-striped lighthouses, red apples, yellow-pink peaches, green-and-red watermelons and earth-toned forts and ruins.

Those and other icons of the National Park System are undeniably spectacular, and to experience their wonders is well worth braving the crowds they inevitably draw. But lest you think the big names are the whole story, consider that the vast park network also boasts plenty of less well-known destinations that are beautiful, historic, or culturally significant—or all of the above. Some of these gems are off the beaten track, others are slowly rising to prominence, and a few are simply overshadowed by bigger, better-publicized parks. But these national parks, monuments, historic places, and recreation areas are overlooked by many, and that’s a mistake you won’t want to make. nobodthe places y knows For every Yosemite, there’s a lesser-known park where the scenery shines and surprises.
