National Parks Checklist

Since our van journey started, we purchased the National Park Passport book from the National Park Service (NPS). It’s been a big part of what guides our travels and how we plan our next destination. 

The book includes every site listed with the NPS – historical sites, military parks, national rivers and seashores, etc. We strive to hit every site in the book but enjoy documenting the 63 major national parks, which are listed below.

Like the map of states on the homepage, we are only checking off the parks Jonlee and I visit together in our van. I am also including a running list of international national parks. I wanted to include the list because we travel internationally without our van, as well. 

Basically, the lists include anywhere we’ve gone since quitting our jobs and hitting the road! Earlier this year we spent 5 weeks in Thailand and I’ve included the national park we visited there below.
