<p>There are <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_parks_of_the_United_States">59 National parks</a> in the US. Of which 49 are in the Continental US (lower 48). There are 52 weeks in a year. I would like to take a year and spend about a week camping and exploring each of the 49 National parks in the lower 48.</p> <p>I am camping with a travel trailer, It is important that camping be available in the area during the visit, preferably in the park. Temperatures and weather should mild during my visit. An overnight frost is ok, but a week of below freezing weather is going to be a problem for the plumbing in my camper. </p> <p>The route should be logistically appropriate, moving between relatively nearby parks, not jumping back and forth across the country.</p> <p>49/12 = 4.08 Optimal I would visit about 4 parks per month. Each park would be about a day's drive, from the last. </p>
