Three items you MUST get if planning a National Park tour:
1) Nat Geo Guide to National Parks of the United States – a complete guide to all the US parks by region. This has been very useful in planning and along the way. We purchases off Amazon for under $20.
2) America the Beautiful Annual Pass – this was gifted to us, but totally worth it if you are planning a big trip. It is $80 and covers entrance/site fees at over 2,000 federal park ajd recreation locations. At $25-$40 per car, this quickly pays for itself.
3) Just Ahead App – download to your phone and the app uses GPS to serve as an audio guide while you are driving through parks. No need to worry about cell signal or Wi-Fi. It has been entertaining and informative for us and the kids. The app is free and you can download individual parks for $16 or get an annual subscription for $30.
