The Best National Park for You Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Having trouble deciding which of America’s national parks you’ll visit next — or first? We’ve mapped out a dozen destinations that are sure to resonate with your astrological affinities, from Aquarians’ love of adventure and extreme sports to the tranquil nature walks that might entice a contemplative Taurus. Read on to discover destinations sure to suit every personality type.

Aquarians are all about losing themselves in adventure, and there’s no more majestic place to indulge those impulses than Utah’s Canyonlands National Park. The Colorado River has carved, otherworldly canyons and buttes all over its picturesque landscape, which happens to boast hundreds of miles of biking trails. Visitors who truly wish to lose themselves in the wilderness can secure permits for a multi-day, backcountry trip along the 100-mile White Rim Road, a legendary course that loops around and below the Island in the Sky area and offers unforgettable views of the park’s picturesque mesas.

Water-loving Pisceans will delight in California’s Channel Islands National Park, a destination that’s just 22 miles off the coast of Santa Barbara and a world away from civilization. There is no transportation available on the park’s five islands (including bicycles), so visitors access its unique flora, fauna and vistas on foot and by kayak or private boat. From diving and snorkeling to tide pooling, surfing and fishing, this destination is a paradise of aquatic activities. Better yet, you can experience its crystal-clear waters and dazzling sea caves (including one of the deepest sea caves on earth) without battling crowds, since the park’s islands are only accessible via concessionaire boats or private watercraft.

Devoted to trailblazing and conquering new heights, a characteristically confident Aries can hike and climb to their heart’s content among the spectacular formations at Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park. Mountaineers, in particular, revere the park for the variety of its routes, which offer everything from back-to-basics bouldering to highly technical ice climbing. Hikers, in turn, get lost (figuratively speaking, of course) on the park’s 250-plus miles of scenic trails.
