The National Park You Should Visit, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Aries: Denali National Park

Aries are known for their adventurous spirit and energetic lifestyle. Even when it comes to your regular workday routine, you like to make sure every minute is accounted for. You’d rather get as much done as you can, as fast as you can, so you can enjoy it all. And when it comes to planning a vacation, every second will be filled with activities.

Alaska's Denali National Park is home to North America’s tallest peak, so you’ll feel challenged by all the hiking available year-round. And with over six million acres of land, you'll have plenty to keep you occupied. The animals you’ll spot along the trail will also make the perfect subjects for your amateur wildlife photography skills.

Taurus: Hot Springs National Park

Tauruses are dependable and passionate. You make up your mind and stick with it, always seeing something through to the very end. And while you might not be the loudest or most boastful person in a room, those close to you know you're the one to call when something has to get done.

But even the most ambitious go-getters need time to unwind, which is why you'll enjoy relaxing at Arkansas' Hot Springs National Park, one of the country's only non-volcanic geothermal springs. Once you're done lounging in the clear, warm water, you're just a hop, skip, and jump away from Superior Bathhouse Brewery, the first and only brewery located inside a National Park (and we know you have a refined palate, Taurus).

Cancer: Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

People call you the moodiest sign of the zodiac, Cancer. And while many astrological stereotypes aren’t always true, this one is. But it's your highly emotional nature that also makes you one of the most empathetic and nurturing people. You love helping people tackle problems and find solutions, but it can take a toll on you if you don't take time for yourself.

For the sensitive sweetheart looking for a secluded nature retreat, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, located on the south shore of Michigan's Lake Superior, is your perfect park. Known for its brilliant multicolored cliffs, out-of-this-world sandstone formations, and remnants of shipwrecks that scatter the shorelines, this locale will take your breath away.

Virgo: Big Bend National Park

You need a break more than anyone on this list, Virgo. Always looking to tick another item off your to-do list, it’s rare for you to take a moment for yourself. You’re the master of juggling everything in life with grace and ease and often find it difficult to pause and do nothing. When you do finally decide to slow down, your practical side will insist on a destination with plenty to see and do (it has to be worth it, right?).

Scorpio: Joshua Tree National Park

Scorpios are mysterious and hard to read. You like to observe people first before you let them know the real you. And while you play your cards close to the chest, it’s only to protect the deeply emotional and sensitive side of your personality. Since you're a sign of extremes, you won’t be deterred by a destination where you'll be roughing it.

Created from high-speed winds and torrential downpours, Joshua Tree National Park is the perfect reminder that even under the harshest conditions, beautiful things can grow and thrive.
