If you’re planning a trip in any National Park, you’re probably going to want to bookmark this
. It’s your first souvenir of every visit to a National Park: you pull up to the entrance booth, and a National Park Service ranger greets you and hands over the park’s newsletter and a map. The map’s familiar black stripe with the park’s name across it in white type and iconic photo entice you to unfold it, unveiling the adventures within, ready to be had.
It’s been a labor of love—Holly has added over a thousand maps to the site, available for you to view, save, and download. Holly makes the maps more viewer-friendly, too—removing excess text, improving image quality, and creating thumbnails and descriptions of every map. In addition to the maps, he links to nearby parks to help with trip planning.
Beyond the full park maps, the site features detailed maps of specific components of the parks—hiking trails and campgrounds, or a broader view of the area surrounding a park. Some of the more interesting maps illustrate the underground network of passages and tunnels at Jewel Cave National Monument, or the depth of Crater Lake.
