National park details are pulled directly from the official National Park Service API; state park boundaries come from public state open-data portals. Even from these authoritative sources, listings can't reflect every last-minute change, so always confirm closures, conditions, and hours with the park before you head out.

Where to start
The map and grid above cover every national park the National Park Service publishes. If you would rather start from a trail than a map, these are the parks whose hikes people plan whole trips around, each with permit and fee details on our popular hikes page.
- Zion National Park, Utah — Angels Landing, a chained ridge walk that needs a permit lottery, and The Narrows, which is waded rather than walked.
- Yosemite National Park, California — Half Dome, whose cables are permit-controlled all season, and the Mist Trail past Vernal and Nevada Falls.
- Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona — Bright Angel Trail, no permit to day hike but a serious undertaking below the rim.
- Shenandoah National Park, Virginia — Old Rag Mountain, a rock scramble that requires a day-use ticket from March to November.
- Acadia National Park, Maine — Precipice Trail, iron rungs up a granite cliff, closed seasonally for nesting falcons.
- Mount Rainier National Park, Washington — Skyline Trail, wildflower meadows under the glaciers.
- Glacier National Park, Montana — Grinnell Glacier Trail, one of the last glaciers left in the Lower 48.
