    This is a list of the United States National Parks we've visited so far!!
                             We've got so many more to go!
   

As of Apr 2021 - there are 63 Official US National Parks.   Some of them are also World Heritage Sites.    According to the latest list, we've been to 58 of them (missing 3 in Alaska, Pinnacles in CA, Dry Tortugas in Florida, & American Samoa.  We've been to many that are designated as Reserves, Historic, etc, but they don't count.  Also been to many in other countries.  I'm working on another page to list those.
