These 62 national parks are masterpieces spread across the United States. The artistry of nature paints their rainforests with mossy green, their lakes a vivid blue, and their canyons in shifting oranges and reds.
Their beauty is in their wildness. Cactus deserts bloom against the odds, and rugged mountains trap snow to feed rivers tumbling to oceans, where seascapes change with each tide. Wolves, grizzly bears, orcas, and eagles still rule the animal kingdom, much as they did when only Native Americans occupied these lands.
Their sights can only be described in superlatives: North Americas highest peak, tallest waterfall, deepest lake, lowest elevation, biggest trees, and the worlds first national park.
Our parks provide moments of connection: hearing birds chatter, smelling fragrant trees, feeling the spray of waterfalls, touching rocks smoothed over by the centuries, and staring up into dark skies. These are the moments that let nature wash through us; that offer renewal of the human spirit.
Your trip to any of these national parks can be the start of a longer, life-enriching journey. Let it begin here.

Alaska contains some of the most rugged and wildest parks. In Denali, bus tours carry visitors deep into the park to see wolves, bears, moose, and the tallest peak in North America. Flightseeing gets visitors even closer to Denali mountain. See tidewater glaciers in Glacier Bay and Kenai Fjords, or fly above the Arctic Circle to Gates of the Arctic and Kobuk Valley.

The California parks span unique extremes: the marine environment of the Channel Islands, the desert badlands of Death Valley, and the bubbling mud pots of Lassen Volcanic. Two deserts collide in Joshua Tree, rocky spires shoot skyward in Pinnacles, and giant redwoods and sequoias pack into Redwood and Sequoia-Kings Canyon. The crowning park, Yosemite, shows off waterfalls in Yosemite Valley, far-reaching views from Glacier Point, and a cabled climb up the steep Half Dome.
Every one of the Pacific Northwest parks centers on mountainsfrom the volcano holding Crater Lake to high Mount Rainier spilling with glaciers to the icy peaks dominating the North Cascades. In Olympic National Park, you can drive into the alpine at Hurricane Ridge or go west to plunge into the lush Hoh Rain Forest and stroll rugged Ruby Beach.
