Plan Your Own Big Adventure!

One of the people Americans like most just visited one of the places Americans like most - Yosemite National Park! If you've been inspired to visit your national parks, you probably don't have too far to go.

America's 394 national parks are everywhere! You can find places to camp and stunning scenery or see cool stuff like dinosaur fossils, enormous heads of Presidents, and a big bell with a crack.

Whether a national park is enormous like Wrangell St. Elias in Alaska or tiny like Thaddeus Kosciuszko in Philadelphia, they are all authentically American. These are real places that tell the real stories of our country.

They also have one other thing in common: they are all owned by the American people.

So come over for a visit. We can't wait to meet you.

PS - While most national parks offer free admission every day, in honor of Veterans' Day on November 11 you can get into all 393 national parks for free!
