Death Valley is certainly not small, but it's very uncrowded once you get away from the two or three big "centers". It's our favorite, and IMHO the only reason to visit Las Vegas.
The big Utah parks in the winter are pretty empty. Some attractions at Zion are inaccessible from snow and ice, but Bryce Canyon in the snow is really awesome (and cold - the rim's over 8k feet if I recall correctly). With lower visitor volume you can still drive into places that other times of the year require shuttle busses.
What struck me about Glacier and Teton is that those mountains look like mountains! With a few exceptions the ones in CO are just taller bumps on ridges. If you asked my 9yo to draw a mountain she surely wouldn't draw Mt Evans (CO) - it'd be pointy like the Alps/Teton/etc... Teton was a zoo however after things opened back up in 2021.
(Acadia's on my bucket list - I as well haven't done much east of the Mississippi, besides Indiana Dunes and Sleeping Bear Dunes which were "local" to me growing up)
