U.S. National Parks by Town

While the United States has over 400 National Park Service units, only 63 of them carry the designation of "National Park." Can you name the national park near each town listed?
In most cases, the town listed is part of the park's official address. Occasionally, I've chosen another nearby town, usually because the name in the park's address gives away the park's name. These locations are noted with an asterisk.
A few large national parks have area in multiple states. The town chosen might not be in the state you're thinking of!
National parks in U.S. territories are included, and should be pretty easy to get considering their names!
