Planning a Trip to A U.S. National Park?

You’re in luck if you’re headed to the National Parks next week because admission is free April 17-25, 2010!

In searching the web, I found a great resource to share with the Hiking Lady community: a wonderful table that has details on what every U.S National Park has to offer. Want to know if a park charges fees? How about if there are ranger led tours? Need a backcountry permit?

National Park System Guide

National Park System Guide - lots of detail!

The print is small, but the guide is a valuable resource. So grab a magnifying glass and enjoy!

Hiking Alaska’s Kobuk Valley & Gates of the Arctic National Parks

A Hiking Lady reader is going on the absolute trip of a lifetime – she and her husband are going to travel to all 58 U.S. National Parks by 2016! Pretty amazing!

Since there are 8 U.S. National Parks in Alaska, it will take careful coordination and planning to reach them all. The 2 northernmost parks, Kobuk Valley and Gates of the Arctic offer the additional challenge and adventure of needing to fly in.

Have you been to Kobuk Valley or Gates of the Arctic? Here’s my advice about traveling to those 2 parks!
