Hi! I’m Bram
National Parks Enthusiast, Nature Photographer, and Dog Lover
From my homebase in the Pacific Northwest, I’m on a journey to visit all U.S. national parks, plus as many national forests, monuments, and other sites in between as I can. This website is where I share my experiences in the parks, whether it’s hiking, biking, kayaking, snorkeling, wildlife viewing, or something else entirely. I hope I can inspire you to visit the national parks in a sustainable and respectful way, too.

Which National Parks Require Reservations in 2024?
Just like previous years, an increasing number of national parks will require some form of reservation this year, whether it’s timed entry, for certain trails, or busy road corridors. As the parks get busier and more popular, it’s more important than ever to plan your national park trips properly and well in advance.
