Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads. Actually, scratch that. A National Park can be an exciting addition to any road trip, but unfortunately US National Park road names are often boringly generic or simply self-referencing. This is not a quiz about those roads. Identify the US National Park (i.e. unit of the National Park Service specifically with the words "National Park" in its name) based on the name and/or description of one or more roads within its boundaries. There is no need to include the words "National Park" as part of your answer. All road names are taken from the official park maps.
