Just a guy and his family trying to visit all 63 National Parks and sharing what I’ve seen and learned at each.
Everglades National Park isn’t just a swamp—it’s a slow-moving river! Its water flows about 100ft per day making it one of the world’s most unique ecosystems. It houses over 700 animal species and is the only place on Earth where alligators and crocodiles coexist in the wild! #NationalParks #Florida

The landscape of Arches National Park (which was almost named Devil's Garden for its rugged beauty) features more than 2,000 natural stone arches, but they don’t last forever. Every year, the forces of erosion reshape the park—some arches have collapsed and new ones are forming #NationalParks #Utah

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is home to more than 19,000 documented species—but scientists believe up to 100,000 could live there, making it one of the most biodiverse places in the US. Some of the trees are over 500 years old, making them older than Shakespeare! #NationalParks #Tennessee

"Where's the park?" You're looking at it. Biscayne National Park is 95% water, so to get the full experience, you have to head below. There, you'll see a paradise of coral reefs, shipwrecks, and marine life. For land lovers, the park also boasts islands you can access by boat #NationalParks #Florida

Most people know that Redwoods National Park is home to the tallest trees on Earth. But did you know their roots only go 6 to 12 feet deep? Instead of going down, they spread wide—up to 100 feet—and intertwine with other trees, creating a natural support network. #NationalParks #California #Redwoods

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. In addition to being able to walk across a once-molten lake of lava in the Kïlauea Iki Crater, you can also hike through Nāhuku, a 500-year old lava tube that was formed when a 2,000 degree river of lava cut its way through a rainforest mountain #NationalParks #Hawaii

Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States and the 7th deepest in the world. The lake maintains its average depth of 1,943 feet by having the rate of water loss through evaporation and seepage matched by the rate of water gain by rain and snowfall. #NationalParks #CraterLake #Oregon

Thunder Hole in Acadia National Park is a natural inlet where waves rapidly trapping and the forcing air out of a small cavern causes the sound of a roaring thunder clap. Depending on the tide, the ocean spray from the waves can reach up to 40 feet #NationalParks #Acadia #ThunderHole #Maine

The Painted Desert located in the northern portion of Petrified Forest National Park. The beautiful formations date back to the Triassic period as erosion sculpted the colorful layers of limestone, mudstone, and volcanic ash you see. #NationalParks #PetrifiedForest #PaintedDesert #California

One of the most awe-inspiring drives in the U.S. is making your way through the Artist’s Palette in Death Valley National Park. The array of rainbow colors in the hills (red, orange, yellow, blue, pink, and green) are from volcanic deposits rich in iron oxides and chlorite #NationalPark #DeathValley

Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior is made up of hundreds of islands. The main island is relatively underdeveloped with only 2 areas (Rock Harbor and Windigo) that have been built for visitors. This remote island is accessible by long ferry ride or short seaplane ride #NationalPark #Michigan
