National Parks Offer a Host of Unique Activities
Whether you want a quick getaway or a long vacation, America’s national parks offer sights and adventures for everyone. If you prefer a mild experience, go hiking, picnicking or bird watching. If wild is your style, raft a whitewater river, mush with sled dogs, dive to a sunken ship or rappel into a slot canyon. Our ten picks deserve a place on your bucket list.
Before you go, read each park’s website to verify operating seasons and hours. Some parks or areas may be closed or restricted due to Covid, weather conditions or other issues, and some have age, ability or certification requirements for various activities.
