The list of most visited National Parks only includes those areas with the title of "National Park." The most visited National Park area is consistently the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia and North Carolina. Visitation to the Blue Ridge Parkway is more than twice the combined visitation to Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon National Parks. That works out to more than 16 million visitors a year to the Blue Ridge Parkway.
I'm sure you're right about that. I bet the list should have also had the Natchez Trace. This was, however, a meme for fun, so why don't you just add that to your list and play along?

It will be fun to chip away at this list! I have an old book of the National Parks got it at a yard sale for $1. Each time I visit a park, I place the date on that page! It will become a family heirloom I guess!
