Colorfully illustrated descriptions offer tours tailored to the time available, whether itâ€™s an hour or a week, and tell visitors the best spots to enjoy hikes, spectacular vistas, wildlife, and more. An Information & Activities page provides practical advice on visitingÂ—park contact information, camping and lodging, accessibility, pet restrictions, things to do, and special advisories. Excursions to nearby wildlife refuges, monuments, forests, and other areas of exceptional interest follow many of the park entries.

From planning a trip to making the most of every minute, hereâ€™s all the information anyone could want on the scenic national parksÂ—the crown jewels of the park systemÂ—plus invaluable advice from National Geographic writers who know them well.
