First off, thank you so much for this book.

As a women who worked and lived in Alaska, and enjoys exploring our beautiful national parks. This will absolutely be a book my husband and I purchase for our past and future travels!

I’ve only been to 3 of the parks in this book, but I’ve started a list in recent years of the others that I want to visit most. This book is a great way to prepare for those hopeful future trips. I really like the pre-visit checklists, though I’m not totally sure about their placement in the book. I also kind of wish the table of contents/checklist included the state information for each park. It’s only apparent later that they’re organized in alphabetical order by state. The artwork/patch for each park was great, and the areas to fill out are simple and clean. I particularly like that there’s an area for a stamp or maybe even a small instant photo from your trip.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

A great journal to document your visits to the national parks. There is a checklist in the beginning to make sure you’ve taken every detail into account before your trip (and there are several, so you are ready for multiple trips) and then a few pages for each park, organized by state. There’s space for basic information such as the date, the weather, and who you visited with, then larger sections for your impressions and stamps from the park. If I were just starting out in my journey to visit them all, this would be perfect! I might still use it because my system requires several journals (I like to document EVERYTHING!). I may actually use this to document our dog’s journey with all his #USBarkRangers tags or our cat’s junior ranger accomplishments. Nice, clean layout makes it easy to use.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Callisto Publishing for the eARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I got the kindle version of this book-and I could not figure out how to actually use it. I mean as a journal. This is not what I expected. I assumed that there would be a little bit of information about each park and then a way to journal about what you did there and what you saw etc. There was no information about the parks and it was basically the same questions on each page about the parks. It did have a couple of pages that could be helpful in the planning of your trip. I just don't think this is very user friendly. I was a little disappointed. 3 stars

Thanks to NetGalley for advanced copy.

My husband and I want first all the national parks and this book is exactly what we need. Sure, the national parks have passport books, but this will allow to us to add our thoughts and other things. So, I definitely went and ordered us a final copy.

This would be fun to have for someone planning to visit several national parks. However, it felt like a wasted opportunity, because there was little information about the parks. The primary content is a list of the parks with spaces where you can fill in your experience. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Great book to plan and note feedback of the Parks BUT I think it really lacked even the most basic maps and any location information (e.g. states of origin).

Journey to the 63 U.S. National Parks - A Journal to Plan, Record, and Remember Your Adventures by Paige Wunder is a very well laid out journey planner and journal. There is a checklist of 63 National parks and each page is laid out to not only plan the trip, but prompts to reflect on while you are there. A great companion if you are going to travel to each of these amazing locations

This is a fun journal to track your national park visits! Each national park has its own page where you can fill in different details about your visit. There is also a section to put a stamp or a sketch. There are also several pages in the front to help you prepare for your visit. Overall, it’s a fun book if you like journaling and keeping track of your travels!
