“Yes, a number of them. Acadia National Park in Maine was my favorite. It's such a different kind of experience than anything here in Kansas.”

— Gwen Wiens, clinical social worker, Lawrence

“Sure; Yellowstone, Yosemite, Gettysburg and the Grand Canyon, among others. I believe Yellowstone is the oldest and is still the best.”

— Paul Markham, professor, Lawrence

“No, I don't think so. I would like to go to Yosemite if I could because it's so famous and I've heard a lot about it. My husband is a geographer, and he really wants to go there, too.”

— Sangeetha Kelly, graduate teaching assistant, Lawrence

“A long time ago I visited Appomattox in Virginia. I was 10 or 12 at the time, and at that point it seemed pretty boring. Ironically enough, I'm kind of a Civil War history buff now.”

— Eric Weber, territory sales manager, Lawrence
