ParkAtlas is the simplest way to track your journey through America's national parks — and to see how far you've come. See your progress at a glance One ring, 63 parks. Every park you log fills it a little more and moves you up the Explorer ranks: Trailhead, Day Hiker, Ranger, Pathfinder, Trailblazer, and finally Summit — all 63. Log the way you actually remember Just been to Zion? Tap the trail you hiked from a curated list — Angels Landing, The Narrows, Observation Point — and the mileage is logged for you. Visited Acadia years ago and only remember it was 2019? Log just the year. Add a photo, a distance, or nothing at all. It all counts. Celebrate every first Your first time in a new park gets confetti. Hit a milestone or a new rank and it gets bigger. Because 15 national parks is worth a moment. Every park has a home Each of the 63 national parks has its own page: popular trails with distances, camping and entry-fee details, peak season, one-tap directions, and a link straight to NPS.gov. Your visits and Strava hikes at that park show up right there. Know what's near you Open ParkAtlas near the Sierra and it will tell you Kings Canyon and Sequoia are within reach — national and state parks you haven't visited yet, with an easy add to your wishlist. Your "To Visit" list drives the map and picks your next adventure. Bring your friends along Follow friends, see their adventures in your feed, and send a High-Five when they log a park. Find people already on ParkAtlas from your contacts or by username. Friends who've been to a park you're viewing show up on that park's page. Share the moment Turn any visit into a clean, branded park card — your photo, the park name, your count out of 63, and your rank — ready for Instagram or iMessage. Strava, if you want it Link Strava and your hikes, walks, and trail runs inside national parks are matched and logged automatically. Works without an account Start as a guest and your visits save on your device. Sign in with Apple or email when you're ready to sync across devices and connect with friends.
