Summer vacation is all about getting outside to explore. And there’s no better time to experience the great outdoors than July – it’s National Parks Month! Here at Yelp we want to be your inside guide to the 58 National Parks across the United States. From Acadia to Zion — find your prime park and join in on #YelpExplores!


For years, locals like Carol V in Kihei have been sharing insights about ways to enjoy parks like Haleakala National Park in Hawaii:
“A lot of people want to come up for sunrise and just can’t get up or even want to get up at 2am to make the trip. I am writing this to tell you sunset is fantastic as well… It’s not as crowded at sunset; another plus.”

Checking Yelp before you finish packing your bags can help you plan the perfect trip. Yelper Phillip Y is full of good advice for visiting Olympic National Park. At Hurricane Ridge he recommends, “Just don’t forget your hoodie or sweater,” and urges, “be sure to bring a raincoat and umbrella since it rains 80% of the time” in the Hoh Rainforest.

Pick your next park to visit, read over the Yelp reviews, and celebrate “America’s best idea!”
