During the season of giving, don’t forget about our country’s beautiful national parks! The National Park Foundation is able to provide grants and programs to parks across the country, all thanks to its generous members and supporters. Explore these ideas to find the perfect way to show your appreciation for our national parks.
We’ve compiled a list of national parks within or close to 24 major U.S. metropolitan areas. These national parks represent a diversity of people and landscapes and stories, and most of the activities we’re suggesting can be experienced in a day trip or less (with some exceptions).

Moments like this one wouldn’t be possible without national park supporters like you! Through our Ticket to Ride grant, goparks was able to send students from Charles Arthur Hughes Middle School in Mesquite, Nevada to Zion National Park to learn about the importance and diversity of microorganisms.
Thank YOU for making it possible to connect a new generation to the national parks! And thank you to Zion National Park for sharing this wonderful photo!
We took over Times Square and connected people with National Parks all over the country using Virtual View Kiosks.
Notable guests included U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Jewell, National Park Service Director Jarvis, Bella Thorne, and our very own National Park Foundation President Dan Wenk!
