My first thought was Grand Teton National Park because it was such a fun trip (our parents took us on all these road trips), but the Rocky Mountain National Park and Grand Canyon are also just exceptionally gorgeous. Bryce is unbelievable too.

When you're really young, part of the fun are the tourist traps. Estes Park near the Rockies had a RIpley's Believe It Or Not! museum--not "beautiful" I guess, but so much fun.
