Rank these parks from best to worst

Not to mention I don't intend to do crazy research and map out every detail. I want to see what the masses say, do a little research on what to see and just enjoy the experience without feeling like it is something I planned or scheduled to the minute.

Then why in the hell are you trying to fit two park visits into one day?

C'mon man, you know what he meant. Some of the places in the parks have very limited appeal.

Do they? Limited appeal to whom? And are you really defending the description of 'waste land'? I actually have no idea what he means. What does it mean to you in the context of a national ****ing park?

Well National Parks have these things called trails. You hike the trails. Most of the good ones take a good chunk of time, so unless you are just doing the most bare bones senior citizen hikes, you are going to need a full day to get a worthwhile experience of a park (at least) imo.

As one example, I've been to Valley Forge National Park. It blows. It's a bunch of the same scenery over and over and over again, **** I grew up with that isn't anything special. Big open fields, some of which are rolling, with the occasional small log cabin. Basically it was a waste of my time when I was a kid. And it was not THAT big.

I have no idea if parts of these parks are just going to be desolate areas, void of beauty or awe, plain for the most part, and totally worth skipping over. That's why I asked the question I asked.
 
Not sure you are worth helping if you arent even going to take the time to educate yourself on the parks you want to visit.

they're not. this very thread -- which you started over a month ago -- dispels any idea that these are small and meek as far as places go. literally 15 minutes of easy research would show you the error of your assumptions. gotta spend that time on JFC, doe, cuz gotta "SEE" places.
 
Most of the khaki(?) part of this map is Bureau of Land Management property(eg Bears Ears, Grand Escalante).

I've been to the parks before, and I would not even consider trying to do two parks in one day. I understand why you would (who knows when you'll be back out here to get the chance to see them), but if you want to enjoy them (get out of the vehicle and hike/explore) it's not possible.

Is there a hot spring about 20-30 minutes outside of Park City? Someone was telling me about a lake or spring or something that's a beautiful blue and I think they said it's 20-30 minutes northwest of PC. I forget who told me this.

There is something up in the Heber/Midway area. I can't recall the name of it right now (and I don't want to google it) but it's there.
