- You should never leave home without your National Park Passport. If you don't have one, get one so you can leave home and appreciate America (and collect stamps at every National Park your visit)!

There's a mobile app!

Im just now downloading this so I will post a review as soon as I get another park under my belt.
This pages tells you where to locate cancellation stations:

The site says that most of the over 400 parks have cancellation stations! Can you imagine the lifelong quest of getting to all of them. It's exciting to even consider.
The program was started in 1986 by Eastern National - who knew!
From: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern...
Eastern National (also known as EN) is a nonprofit Cooperating Association based in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, that partners with the National Park Service in the United States. It was created by charter in 1948 to "provide quality educational products and services to the visitors to America's national parks and other public trusts." As of June 16, 2009, Eastern National has donated over $100 million to their partners.

I just order mine today. And yes I’m a seasoned citizen as well😂 Always heard about it but never really looked into to much. But now I’m excited about it. Already reached out to the places we’ve already visited ti see if I can get the cancellations mailed to me. Nice video 👍
In the back, there is a section for extra, unofficial cancellations, so, mine has one from the US Embassy, Managua, Nicaragua.
“Seasoned citizens who are completely badass” I love this! I tried to add some stamps during my last road trip but was waylaid by the government shutdown. Boo! I wonder if your ranger friend had a mandatory vacation. I’m jazzed to get my stamps next time though!
I also love using my National Park Passport book. Unfortunately there isn’t any groups that I could find to share my love of them. So I created a Facebook group! It’s named “Passport to National Parks” I would love if you joined and share with you’re friends that also love Collecting passport cancelation stamps
"I want to be buried with my national park passports" LOLOL, but good idea - adding that to my funeral wishes.
I just purchased the "seasoned citizen" version and skipped past the smaller book because this is a lifetime obsession. Thanks for putting a name to what i figured was a complex. I want to go to all Oklahoma state parks, National Parks, National Monmuments, Etc.
Rad. Have you heard about the National Parks Travelers Club? They've got a huge database of National Parks stamps and info about them if you're interested.
Ugh. You just made me want one even more!! Thanks for showing us the live stamping process! Absolutely amazing
awesome video!
I was at the Grand Canyon a month ago and was wondering about the stamps but I didn't ask about it till I was in Yosemite yesterday and totally regretting it lol at least I have one stamp
I was told elsewhere that the GC has 7 cancellations.
@@sfc334 NPS app says there is 10 :)
This is a very excellent video. I recommend that people watch it multiple times. And then go to the National Parks.
Yes! You're the best and that is solid advice.
I started with the small passport book, but then decided to super upgrade to the explorer edition. It isn't cheap, but it zips up, has pockets in the front and back, and is very expandable by adding pages into the binder. It also has a shoulder strap and a clear zipper pouch I put my park pass and hang tag in. Very nice video with a lot of good info!
I feel totally understood! Similar hair, age, and vibe but also a love for the National Park Passport Books. I was fortunate enough to start my journey in 2016 and lucked into getting the 100-year anniversary collectors addition. Dude to COVID, I am unable to collect more stamps right now but I am still hiking, camping, and learning. Thanks for the great video!
I always wanted to travel the country and see what every state has to offer and then on a recent trip to Steamtown in PA I learned about the passport book and it's been traveling with me ever since!
Scranton, PA? That’s my hometown!
So much fun, I am one of those hard core seasoned citizens with two small books and this year graduated to the BIG book! My husband and I drove from MA to AZ and hit as many NPS as possible...so many stamps!!!
I love it! Congrats on graduating to the big book. I can't wait to get one myself one of these days. :)
Ok so I just learned about this program. Does this mean I need to re-visit all the parks I’ve already been to? How do I get those stamps?
I just got a passport book today and got my first stamp; Lincoln House! Yay!
Hey - could you tell me, what size the stickers have? (:
How many units of the system have you been to?
