David Muench is a world class landscape photographer. So when he recommends his favorite national parks, I pay attention.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have admired and been inspired by David Muench’s work for years (you can see his stunning images at the link below). It is also family thing. As a teenager growing up in Colorado, photos by Joseph Muench, his father, inspired me to head up into the mountains and take pictures with my little Instamatic camera.\u00c2\u00a0 Books by Joseph and David Muench adorn my library shelves. David’s son Marc has also taken up the photography mantle.<\/p>\n

When David recommends his favorite places it is worth putting them on your photography to do list. His article, “David Muench\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Favorite Places”, appeared in the March 2006 issue of Outdoor Photographer<\/em> (one of my favorite photo magazines). Here’s the list of his favorite national parks, plus one national preserve.<\/p>\n
