National Parks in 2022

Along with exploring every state, another of our many objectives of this full-time RV lifestyle is to visit all 63 national parks. It’s long been one of Jenn’s life goals.

We’ve already been to several, and in 2022 we have planned our route to hit about 22 more. See yesterday’s 2022 plans post for the route map.

Jenn has a book to commemorate our visits to each park. She has added flags for each of the parks we plan to visit this year, color-coded by state:

The book includes a map with locations of all of the parks; there are a lot on the west side of the country, where we will be all year:

For each park there are some factoids, a sticker to add, and space to write some notes about our experience (and for Yellowstone, Jenn added a Junior Ranger sticker she got from a nice ranger who stopped by our campsite):

Here’s one of the ones we plan to visit this year:

We also have a road atlas book with more national park info and lots of maps:

We generally use our Macs, iPhones, and GPS units for navigating, but it’s useful to have paper-based tools, too.

Follow along as we visit each of the national parks!
