14 so far and hopefully one more this year.


25 and adding 5 more this summer!


28 and counting. Most of the 28 more than one time.


12 but I plan on seeing at least four more this year.


30 for me. I need to get to Florida, Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest!


25 for me and my wife. Like others it's our goal to visit them all. The birth of our first child last year has slowed our travels temporarily but we can't wait to share our passion with her. If anyone is interested I've created a Google map of the 58 NPS units that currently have National Park status here: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=1125853708857300...
You can also check out my website, http://www.jasonwoerly.com, which has photos from many of the parks.


only 30. But, I'm angling for Channel Islands this October, I hope to get to Capitol Reef (and Grand Staircase Escalante) this fall, and North Cascades & Mount Rainier & Olympic owe me a trip perhaps next summer.


Thanks,It really started back when I retired at 55 and we were at Great Smoky Mountains Natl Park and my wife bought me this big Natl Park Book listing the 58 parks and a page for each one.I said to her that day before I die we are going to get a park stamp from everyone of these parks.What an adventure it was.Had not made the Hawaii ones but when I got cancer we said lets get our butts in gear.So after my surgery we went.I have kept notes on how we got to the parks and what we did.Hope my grand kids enjoy what grandpa and grandma did and that travel inspires them.It's Gods gift to man kind.I thank God for that and for allowing me to enjoy them in person.
