I was able to travel coast to coast last year from Maine to Washington and saw some awesome national parks for the first time (which have already been covered in this thread). Can't wait to go back.
Acadia NP - Mt Desert Island - On a carriage road
Olympic NP - Hurricane Ridge - From the edge of the parking lot

Here are a couple that will let you knock off another park from the list. These are both from the Cuyahoga Valley NP (my backyard).
I grew up in Hudson! Went to middle and high school there, and captured many a creature from near the Cuyahoga river back when it was the CVNRA.
From the 9000 ft elevation of Mount Rainier, just below Camp Muir. Looking across at Mount St. Helens, with Tatoosh Range barely poking through in foreground.
While technically not a National Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway is administered under the NPS. It's a fantastic stretch of road reaching 470 miles through Appalachia. It offers photo opportunities through all four seasons.
