It's a pretty simple website but it does give a bit of info. Hope that helps!

I found a website that looks pretty interesting, so I thought I'd share. It's http://parks.mapquest.com
It lists all the US National Parks, gives an overview about the park, activities you can participate in, wildlife you might see & some history about the park.
I've had some fun just looking around & seeing all the wonderful National Parks we have here in the USA! Hope you find it useful too!

Thanks for the link....and may I add that the BEST DEAL IN AMERICA is the Senior Pass for the National Park system - DO NOT LEAVE HOME WITHOUT ONE !!!!

Thanks Cindy!
One of our dreams is to visit every National Park.

Tim & Cindy,
I also think that visiting every national park would be awesome! However for at least 1 park I know of in Alaska, the only way to get there is by plane! Have to leave the RV behind for that one.

Well, after looking at that one, Gates of the Arctic National Park, I guess I'll have to pass. That one would really be remote and one would be totally on their own. I'm a little bit too old and like my creature comforts too much for that one, in spite of how beautiful it might be.
So, while Jo and I want to visit all the national parks, I believe I'll take that one off the list.
By the way, thanks for posting this link. Not only did it give me a full list of the parks, but a fair amount of information about each one. Good job.

Unlike the Gates of the Artic NP which could take all summer to do, we did the Teddy Roosevelt NP in under an hour last week in NY. But TR had such an interesting life, and was the most instrumental US President in establishing and conserving our National Parks. Certainly worth doing ...

Cindy do you know if there is a similar map to cover the National Historical Parks.....things like that?
As an example I just went through Lyndon B Johnson National Historical Park in Stonewall Texas....interesting place and an easy visit. Touring the Texas White House was especially nice - reminded me in 'style' of Graceland - I guess they were built in the same era - although Lyndon didn't have a Jungle Room...
Greg & Jean,
This website has a list of some National Historic Parks, but I don't think it has them all.
