The US may have birthed the National Park system in 1872, but the idea of protected lands has since exploded beyond its borders. Today, 6,000 of these spectacular natural destinations are spread out over 100 countries—an entire planet’s worth of preserved wonder.
In 2023, we’re not limiting our travel to big cities. No, the global outdoors is just too full of awe for that. From Patagonian glaciers to mythical Scottish lochs, Namibia’s elephant-laden watering holes to Thailand’s sparkling 51-island archipelago, national parks shine even brighter on the international stage. And we want to explore them all.
Lace up your boots, pack your GPS, and don’t forget your passport.
