I've been to all 50 US states. These 10 state parks are just as impressive as national parks.

Dead Horse Point State Park often gets overshadowed by the nearby Arches National Park.

• After traveling to many US national parks, I've found that state parks are just as beautiful.
• State parks tend to be less crowded, cheaper to visit, and easier to get to than national parks. 
• Letchworth State Park in New York and Tettegouche State Park in Minnesota are two of my favorites.

I'm one of those people who's obsessed with visiting US national parks.
