Have you thought about traveling to all 63 US National Parks? This is actually something that is on our “retirement” bucket list. You know, things to do once we’re old and more gray. (I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty gray in my 30s already!). But on a serious note, traveling the United States is big on our wish list. So why wait? Let’s start exploring these parks now!
During some travel research, I came across this amazing travel couple Matthew and Renee Hahnel. This was before the United States declared the addition of 4 more National Parks (as there was previously 59 of them). Matthew and Renee actually received full sponsorship to travel to the then 59 National Parks by the company Evolve. This company had them blog & Instagram about every stop along their way. You can learn more about them here in an article on Today.com for Budget Travel Tips To Visit All 59 Parks. You can also follow their blog at Drink Evolve. *Note: We are not affiliated with Matthew & Renee Hahnel or the company Evolve. We just really love the story and photos they took.
Feeling inspired to start exploring the United States National Parks, we compiled a list of the parks below. It includes the current list of all 63 US National Parks in alphabetical order to help you get started on your planning. Whether you anticipate hitting all 63 in a row on one major trip, or just a few at a time, this list and map below will help you plan.
