There’s no U.S. National Park more isolated than the National Park of American Samoa, and very few are less well-known. Located six hours southwest of Hawaii by plane, it’s not exactly a place that you’d end up by accident. But its isolation is exactly what makes this National Park so special: over ten hours from the mainland U.S., the National Park of American Samoa protects coral-draped rainforests and flying foxes — and it’s like no other park in the nation. If you’re one of the intrepid few to make the trek, few parks are more richly rewarding.
