About the Site


Welcome to I Love National Parks, the website for a personal perspective of some of America's great National Parks! What makes this site unique is all the ratings and recommendations are first-hand accounts from me and my wife, and the photography (all original) is indicative of what you can achieve on a typical outing. We also visit National Parks like a typical family, mostly from the car with a few strategic hikes, so if this is your style, you should find these pages useful in planning your trip. I hope you enjoy your adventure with me, my family and friends as we share the good, bad, strange and funny while exploring some of the most breathtaking scenery on Earth.

Welcome to the new home for I Love National Parks.  This has been a slow year for visiting National Parks, but it's been a good year for visiting a few smaller NPS sites in conjunction with other trips, particularly back east, so we are proud to bring reports on these places as well.   Please give us some feedback via the e-mail link on the "about the site" page.
