Tips for Visiting America’s National Parks

Leave No Trace: With parks becoming more and more popular, it’s important to clean up after yourself. Make sure you leave nothing behind. Pick up all of your trash, don’t litter, and clean your food crumbs. Stay on maintained trails so you don’t damage the ecosystem. Furthermore, leaving no trace means leaving everything in its place. Don’t steal rocks, pinecones, flowers, or anything else from national parklands.

Do Not Approach or Feed Wildlife: Wild animals can be extremely dangerous. It’s best to let them be wild and leave them alone. Respect their space, keep your distance, and follow any park-specific regulations regarding wildlife. Never feed wild animals.

Plan Ahead: Expect crowds, reserve your lodging ahead of time, and know what you want to do when you visit. Research hiking trails, backcountry permitting processes, and other things to do before you arrive.

America the Beautiful Pass: Many national parks charge an entrance fee. By purchasing an annual pass, your fee will be waived when you visit these parks. Some are also available on a complimentary basis for many Americans. To see the full list of options for passes, click here.
