Who it's for

Road trippers, families with a park passport, hikers working through a list, retirees with time to travel, and anyone with a goal to visit every national park.

How to use it

Getting the most from a national parks checklist.

  1. Fill in the parks you want first

    Start with the parks on your wish list, grouped by region. It makes it easier to plan trips that take in several.

  2. Stamp or sticker

    Use the stamp column for a park passport stamp, a sticker or a doodle.

  3. Record the date

    The date column turns the list into a record of your adventures over the years.

  4. Plan by season

    Some parks are best in certain seasons and some roads close in winter. Note the best months next to each park.

  5. Use it for any parks

    State parks, national parks abroad or local nature reserves all work.

  6. Note entry fees and passes

    Some parks need timed entry or reservations in busy seasons. Write requirements next to each park when you plan a trip.
