A Walk in the Park

Crocodiles, coral reefs, giant Sequoias, cliff dwellings, hoodoo rock formations, erupting geysers, volcanoes, glaciers, white sand dunes and heavy stones that mysteriously slide across the desert—these are only some of the breathtaking sites you can see within our national park system. There are 62 national parks in the U.S. with roughly 350 additional sites—including monuments, battlefields, historical landmarks and recreational areas—to choose from. These parks, America’s greatest national treasure, attracted over 330 million visitors last year alone. Were you one of them?

Track the parks you've been to and keep an eye on those you wish to visit in the future with the National Parks Challenge Checklist, part of the WORTH NOTING journal series. Click here.
