Canada mode has arrived! You can now track all 40 Canadian national parks alongside the 63 US parks, each with its own hand-drawn landmark tile. Park Visit Log is your personal companion for exploring the national parks of the United States and Canada. Log every park you visit, track your progress toward visiting them all, and earn milestone badges along the way — across all 103 parks in two countries. TWO COUNTRIES, ONE JOURNAL Track the 63 US national parks, then switch to Canada in Settings to explore all 40 Canadian national parks — from Banff and Jasper to Gros Morne and Auyuittuq. The grid, map, progress, badges, heatmap, widgets, and Siri all follow the country you choose, and your visit history for both countries is always preserved. A FIELD JOURNAL, DRAWN BY HAND Every park has its own hand-drawn ink interpretation of its most famous landmark — Half Dome, the Gateway Arch, Moraine Lake — on a warm parchment tile that stays paper in light and dark mode. Visited parks earn a dated cancellation stamp, like a mark in a passport. TRACK YOUR VISITS Browse every park in a searchable, filterable grid. Log visits with custom dates, notes, and photos from your library. Flexible date precision — exact date, month and year, year only, or approximate — lets you record trips from memory. CLOSEST PARK Your grid opens with the nearest park, its distance, and a compass that keeps pointing at it as you turn. CHECK IN WITH GPS Open the map, tap Check In, and the app detects which park you are standing in — using official National Park Service boundary data in the US and Parks Canada open data in Canada, so you have to actually be there. Parks with separate units check in everywhere. A celebration animation marks each success. LIVE PARK DATA FOR US PARKS See real-time alerts, photo galleries, operating hours, and entrance fees for every US park, straight from the National Park Service. Canadian parks are fully offline. EARN MILESTONE BADGES Six badges per country reward your progress, from First Summit at your first park to Legend at all 63 US parks — or all 40 Canadian ones. Each badge records the exact date you earned it. Share your journey with high-resolution cards: your visited parks plotted on a US or Canada map, dated badge cards, or a format sized for Stories. PLAN TRIPS Group visits into named trips with start and end dates, and relive which parks and states each road trip covered. BUILD YOUR WISHLIST Tap the heart on any park to save it for later, and filter the grid to only your wishlisted parks when planning your next adventure. VISIT HEATMAP A year-at-a-glance calendar of your park activity. Tap any day to see which park you visited, and watch planned trips appear as outlined days. SIRI & SPOTLIGHT Ask Siri how many parks you've visited or for a random park suggestion. Search any park's name — US or Canadian — from your home screen and jump straight to its page. YEAR IN REVIEW See your stats for any year — parks visited, total visits, states covered, and the first park you explored that year. TIMELINE After visiting 10 parks, unlock a chronological timeline of every visit grouped by year. HOME SCREEN & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Add a Parks Progress widget in small, medium, or large — or put your progress on your Lock Screen with circular, rectangular, and inline widgets. Widgets follow your chosen country. EXPORT AND IMPORT Back up your visits, trips, and notes as a JSON file — both countries, always, in one backup. Restore on a new device: duplicates are skipped automatically and badges recalculate to reflect your full history. Photos stay on your device and are not included in backup files. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Park Visit Log works entirely on your device. No account, no data collection, no analytics, no advertising. Your visit history never leaves your phone unless you choose to export it. The only park-data requests go to the public National Park Service API for live US park data — no personal information is ever sent. Tracking Canada? The app fetches no park data at all. Park Visit Log is free to use with no subscriptions or in-app purchases.
