I was planning a trip to the USA to visit their parks, which seem to be amazing, but due to recent daily shenanigans involving immigrants, I'll have to post pone the visit
With that in mind, I'm looking for alternatives, any recommendations? I have 30 days and I'd prefer to be limited to 1 airplane ticket if visiting more than one park in this period. Multiple train connections or other transport alternatives are fine
New Zealand. The whole country feels like a national park especially the south island. However, you would need to rent a car to get to and between a lot of places.
It can be a treacherous hike in bad weather! You can arrange for bus pickup because it's a through hike, but if the weather is so bad, they'll email you and tell you the bus is canceled. Absolutely worth hiking if you're ever in NZ!
Spain! Spain has great country side roaming. You can visit the deserts very well know westerns were filmed on. Run up on one of the highest peaks of the EU. Eco tourism here is great.
Everyone here will tell you their own country is gorgeous. If I was you, I'd go to the UK and Ireland, visit the giants causeway, the lake district, Snowdonia, the Yorkshire dales.
That's a shame but totally understandable. I hope we return to something sane before they destroy the parks for drilling or logging or whatever. The national park service really has some amazing natural resources.

Iguaçu Falls, on the border between Brazil and Argentina. Nearby you could also visit Itaipu Dam, formerly largest in the world.
Going a bit into the same Brazilian state of Paraná, there's also the amazing Vila Velha park, with incredible sandstone formations.
