We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Does the name Lee Abbamonte ring a bell?  He’s the youngest person ever to visit every country in the world, plus the North & South Poles.  He’s visited ALL 193 United Nations member states and 321 total countries.

    His most recent travel accomplishment is equally as impressive as traveling around the world.  He visited ALL 60 US National Parks.

    Million Mile Secrets team member Meghan shared a trip report from her 2,500+ mile road trip to fantastic National Parks, including Yosemite, Death Valley, Red Rock Canyon, Zion, and Bryce Canyon.  If you’re planning a similar road trip, be sure to check out our post with the best credit cards to earn rewards on fuel purchases.

    Here’s Lee in Canyonlands National Park in Utah!

    I really enjoy following Lee on Instagram.  He’s usually on the go to somewhere exciting.  Or just playing golf.  And it sounds like Lee knows a thing or two about earning miles & points.  During a recent interview with ABC Las Vegas, he said he has nearly 3.5 million miles & points across his frequent flyer accounts!  #Goals

    After completing his epic National Parks adventure, Lee ranked all of the parks from 1 to 60.  You can check out his post with the complete ranking.  Here’s a look the top and bottom 5 from his list.

    I’d imagine most people haven’t even heard of the parks in the bottom 5.

    56.   Gateway Arch (Missouri)

    57.   Congaree (South Carolina)

    58.   Cuyahoga Valley (Ohio)

    59.   Pinnacles (California)

    60.   Hot Springs (Arkansas)

    Lee’s top 5 ranking include National Parks that are definitely on my bucket list!

    1.   Yosemite (California)

    2.   Canyonlands (Utah)

    3.   Arches (Utah)

    4.   Wrangell-St. Elias (Alaska)

    5.   Crater Lake (Oregon)

    Beautiful Crater Lake in Oregon, Just a 4-Hour Drive From Portland!
