Happy National Parks Week! This week, every year, we celebrate the 417 National Park Units across the nation and take a moment to acknowledge the landscapes, history, knowledge that these parks house and protect are what makes the United States amazing. I have been fortunate enough to visit twenty-three of these units, scattered across the states, within the past three years, some of them more than a few times. The weekends bracketing National Park Week (April 15-23) are fee-free weekends, so if you are able to get out and enjoy your parks now would be an awesome time to do so! I haven't been able to get to a park unit yet this year, but starting next month I have plans in place to travel to several over the summer months. Scroll on below for a gallery of every National Park Unit I've been to in the past three years and find some inspiration to visit one or two yourself!
