Major National Parks

Dry Tortugas National Parks
Dry Tortugas National Park, June 2022

There are 63 major National Parks in the United States. Below, I list the parks alphabetically by state. If a state is not listed, that means there are no major national parks in that state. I have visited anything listed in ‘red’, but I only linked the parks that I have finished the reviews for.

I will be adding 5 new parks to my list this summer from Colorado and Utah!
