Everyone has their own bucket list items and mine includes visiting all the National Parks in America. There are 63 official National Parks in America, but there are an additional 423 National Park Sites. This includes all the battlefields, preserves, memorials, sea shores, and monuments that have been designated as important historic sites.

Last year I broke down and purchased the Passport To Your National Parks Collector’s Edition Book and decided to start collecting the stamps and stickers. This means I have to go back and even visit the ones I have already been to in order to get the book stamped.

I won’t list all the battlefields, memorials, monuments, etc. here, but just the 63 major parks to see how many I have been to so far. Then you count how many you have been to and comment to let me know.

Feel free to check yourself and let me know what your number is. Here they are in alphabetical order.

  1. Acadia National Park in Maine
  2. American Samoa National Park in American Samoa
  3. Arches National Park in Utah
