National parks offer extraordinary experiences, but it’s not always possible to get to a park in person. Fortunately we have ways to connect with the park from a distance through digital opportunities and activities to do in your own home or neighborhood. There are enough activities to keep you occupied for days! Find suggestions on this page to engage with the park remotely.
