List of National Parks In The United States

Do know how many National Parks are in the United States? Check out this great list of National Parks and see what should be on your bucket list to visit.

The following is a list of all 63 National Parks in the United States, along with information regarding their location, when they were established, their size and the number of visitors they had in 2020.

I have had the pleasure of being able to visit 37 of the 63 parks. I've got quite a few more to go, but I'm pretty sure I won't get to all of them as some of them are quite remote, such as American Samoa.
