Year after year, tens of millions of visitors spend time in the nation's parks and monuments. Few of those travelers, though, make it to remote Alaska.
Originally a national monument, Katmai was created in 1918 to preserve a 40-square-mile ash flow deposited by Novarupta Volcano. It was made a national park and preserve in 1980, and came in fourth on the least-visited list in 2008, with 7,970 registered visitors. Entrance is always free.
