National Parks Checklist: All 64 U.S. Parks

All 64 U.S. national parks in one checklist, including Chiricahua in Arizona, which became the newest park on October 20, 2026. Tick the parks you’ve been to, mark the ones on your bucket list, then print the list or download an image to share. Sort by state to plan the next trip.

How many national parks are there?

There are 64 national parks as of November 2026, in 30 states and two U.S. territories, American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands. California has the most with nine, then Alaska with eight and Utah with five. The National Park Service runs more than 400 sites in all, but only these 64 carry the “national park” name. See the full list by state.

Which parks are hardest to check off?

• Gates of the Arctic and Kobuk Valley (Alaska): no roads lead into either park, so most visitors fly in on small planes.
• Isle Royale (Michigan): an island in Lake Superior reached only by ferry or seaplane, and closed from November 1 to April 15.
• National Park of American Samoa: in the South Pacific, about 2,600 miles southwest of Hawaii.
• Dry Tortugas (Florida): about 70 miles west of Key West, by ferry or seaplane only. See our Florida Keys guide.

Plan the next parks

• Which parks need a reservation and when to book.
• Is the annual pass worth it? The America the Beautiful pass costs $80 for U.S. residents and $250 for visitors from abroad; the calculator shows your break-even point.
• Best parks for a first visit and the least crowded parks.
• Utah’s Mighty 5 in 7 days: five parks on one road trip.
