Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is pitching some of the national parks he oversees as potential honeymoon destinations for the United Kingdom’s Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following the couple’s wedding on Saturday.

Among the destinations on Zinke’s list: Glacier National Park in Montana, Acadia National Park in Maine and Florida’s Dry Tortugas National Park.

“Congrats Prince Harry and Meghan,” Zinke tweeted. “Looking for some beautiful, adventurous and quintessentially American honeymoon spots? Check out @GlacierNPS @DryTortugasNPS @AcadiaNPS or any other of our 417 @NatlParkService parks!”

Harry and Markle, now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, respectively, were married on Saturday at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor, England, in a ceremony that drew audiences around the world.

The couple’s honeymoon plans haven’t yet been announced. According to the British tabloid The Sun, Harry and Markle are expected to delay their post-wedding vacation and will instead attend their first royal engagement sometime next week.

But speculation about possible destinations has ranged from Rwanda to Hawaii. 

Prince William and Kate Middleton, who were married in 2011, journeyed to the Seychelles for their honeymoon.
