14. For me, it is a local national park.

It is fairly near where I live and does not take a lot of gas to get there and back. The drive is nice too, because I go "the back way" and see the beautiful landscape of the backwoods. The scenery of the undeveloped parts of this county and the county next to us almost make you think of the mountains.

During weekdays, it is all but deserted except for the people who work there. They stay in the gift shop area unless they are caring for the grounds. It is very peaceful and serene being there. I love that place. I can find solitude there and I can literally feel the stress of day to day living lifting from me. It is very peaceful. I love it!

Admission is free but they do accept donations. So, it is inexpensive too.
