One of the main reasons for traveling the United States in a motorhome is to explore the many wonders around the country. In previous years I had four posts of attractions visited in the year, but this year I’m going to split them by the kind of attraction, since that seems like it’ll be more useful for future reference.
This is a summary of the National Parks we visited in 2024. You can also see the attractions from 2023, from 2022, and from 2021.
As with the previous summaries, I’ll include a link to the corresponding blog post, and a sample picture. Click or tap the link or picture to see more.
You can see all of the attraction-related blog posts via the exploring category, with the earliest posts at the top, or the latest posts at the top, or more specifically the national park category (with earliest or latest posts at the top).
We visited 12 new National Parks in 2024 (plus revisited several), for a total of 47 so far of the 63 total National Parks.
