When you start visiting the U.S national parks the list of 62 national parks can be daunting.  There are a lot of national parks and they are spread out across 28 states and 2 US territories.  The best way to keep track of your process thru the United States National Parks is with a United States National Park checklist.

** These printable list of national parks was updated on December 20, 2019, to included the elevation of White Sands National Monument to White Sands National Park.

Why more than one checklist?

There are currently 62 National Parks according to the National Park Service, but the 60th is rather controversial.  The 60th National Park is Gateway Arch National Park in Saint Louis, Missouri.  This park is a 90-acre park in the middle of a city that is mostly made of concrete.  Due to politics, this hunk of concrete has the same status as Denali, Yellowstone, and Yosemite.  For this reason, I, Jennifer the founder of National Park Obsessed, refuse to consider Gateway Arch a real national park.  It does belong in the National Park system but as a National Memorial.

Since I and many others don’t consider this a park, we are offering printable list of the national parks without Gateway Arch National Park.  One checklist included Gateway Arch National Park and one does not. When you sign up for our monthly newsletter, you will be emailed a link to both of these checklists.  You are welcome to download and print as many copies as you would like.

If you have already signed up for our monthly newsletter, you do not need up to sign up again.  Head over to your email box and search for our previous newsletters.  There will be a link to the checklists at the bottom of the newsletter under the heading “National Park Obsessed Downloads.”
