National Park Locations

Part of our mission with the website is to help promote the National Park System. We encourage other families to get outside and, Explore the world around them. Learn new things, and Protect the environment and historical locations. We do this by exploring National Park Service locations ourselves and passing on what we have learned. 

This trip included stops at the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, New River Gorge National Park, and the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park. 

A great way to learn for free while visiting the National Parks is to participate in the Jr. Ranger program. This is a great program that helps visitors of all ages learn. Its’ motto is Explore, Learn, Protect. These are the three things we are trying to promote with this site.
