One of the big goals on my bucket list includes visiting every national park in the United States. As of March 2023 there are 63 national parks that span 30 states and 2 US territories. As time goes on, more national parks are added with New River Gorge being the latest addition from December 2020. I have been able to visit 17 so far. I have made great progress in my home state of California with being able to visit 8 out of the 9 national parks and will hopefully soon knock out that last one!

This blog will serve as a journal where I can share my favorite photos of the national parks I have been able to visit so far. Photos vary in subjects from landscapes to botanical to wildlife to personal photos as well as varied camera sources. I will also share the year I first visited each park and a list of the rest of the parks that require a visit. Below each set of photos is a link to the National Park Service website about the specific park in that section. This blog will continuously be updated as I venture to new parks and revisit old ones. I’m always available and excited to talk about national parks so don’t hesitate to reach out!
