Ever wondered where your next road trip destination could be? Look no further! Each state in our beautiful country offers a wealth of national parks, each with their own unique landscapes and experiences. From the rugged wilderness of Alaska, boasting a jaw-dropping eight national parks, to the sunshine state of Florida, home to three unique national parks, there's an adventure waiting for everyone.

Whether you're an avid hiker, a wildlife enthusiast, or simply a lover of breathtaking views, these natural havens offer a treasure trove of experiences. Read on to discover just how many national parks are tucked away in your state, and start planning your next adventure today!

Thirty states and two U.S. territories have a total of 63 national parks. California has the most with nine, followed by Alaska with eight, Utah with five, and Colorado with four.

Here are all of the national parks listed by state. Please note that for some parks, there are multiple listings because I have created WPA-style national park art for more than one location in the park. For those parks without a link, I have not yet created a poster for that park.
