List of US National Parks and Canada National Parks
Are you looking for a list of US National Parks or Canada National Parks?
Inside Peru (David and Lin) is compiling a list of national parks of the United States; rather, the sites dealing with national parks, on this page.
Canada will follow as soon as possible.
One of the more difficult tasks is searching the internet for maps of national parks or easy to read sites that have the feature we are looking for.
This is true of Peru's National Parks, of course, but you who also want to make shorter trips closer to home often are looking for maps of national parks in the USA and Canada.
On one hand, there's always
Google maps. But the information on many desired
aspects such as trails and camping in national parks is likely not
going to be there.
So, since we do a lot of research on the web,
we will be adding to this list of all national parks in Canada and the
United States and perhaps expand it to other countries as well. |
