New National Park Service app launched
Just ahead of National Park Week, the new National Park Service (NPS) mobile app (go.nps.gov/app) is now live for visitors to plan their next trip.
It integrates up-to-date information about all 423 national parks in a single app platform.
Available to download at the iOS App Store and Google Play Store, the app has interactive maps, and tours to plan a visit.
"National Park Week is a time for us to celebrate national parks and experience them in new ways," said Deputy Director Shawn Benge.
"We hope that visitors will recognize this opportunity to use the NPS App to discover their next national park adventure and learn more about these incredibly special places."
During a time when many visitors are choosing to visit parks close to home, users of the App will be able to find a selection of nearby parks to explore.
While planning a trip, users can build personalized trips and save and share information about their upcoming adventure.
The app is available offline, so visitors can download necessary resources ahead of time – especially important for visits to more remote areas.
The NPS App is fully accessible and includes tools for visitors with accessibility needs. While in the park, visitors can access self-guided tours to learn more about the park, create and share a virtual postcard and stay informed of alerts and closures.
