Dear Friend of the National Parks,

After months at home, many of us are itching to get out for a hike,
go kayaking or snorkeling, or just safely travel again with family and
friends.

National park sites around the country, from Zion to the Great
Smokies, are desperately trying to balance a massive influx of park
visitors with reduced staffing and a lack of equipment to adequately
keep people safe. Worse, many communities near parks simply do not
have the health care infrastructure to manage a growing number of
COVID-19 infections.

NPCA is eager to resume our small-group tours when things are safe
again, but until then, travelers can still do the next-best thing:
dream.

Now is the perfect time to fine-tune your bucket list and start
planning a trip to a national park you've always dreamed of
visiting. Fortunately, NPCA and our travel partner Off the Beaten
Path have set dates for a variety of small-group adventures in 2021.

COVID-19 to ensure the protection of our travelers' health and
safety. As conditions and guidelines continue to evolve, our travel
partners are committed to easing concerns and creating flexible
options for those interested in rescheduling or booking new travel.

Wherever you decide to go this season, please follow the guidance of
public health experts. Stay safe, wear a mask, wash your hands and
always recreate responsibly.
