Get Inspired by President Obama and Discover America’s National Parks

As a young boy, President Obama’s family visited many of America’s national parks. This appreciation for our country’s beautiful outdoor spaces has stayed with him. The President has protected more than 265 million acres of America's public lands and waters -- more than any other president in history. He also has taken bold steps to protect places that are culturally and historically significant to diverse communities of Americans.

During National Park Week, all national parks across the country are free of charge. Not only are these parks beautiful, but every dollar invested in the National Park Service returns $10 to the U.S. economy.

Not sure which national park to visit first? From the Grand Canyon to Acadia National Park, check out some photos from places the President has visited with his own family, then go to FindYourPark.com to start your trip.
