Dear Andy,
National parks are some of the most treasured outdoor spaces in the US — and with good reason. In 2025, they raked in 323 million visits, including 1 in 5 AllTrails members.1 With park visitation peaking in July, we’re sharing exclusive insights and planning tips, and how we’re improving the trailgoer experience in national parks.
We’ll see you out there,

How dropping timed entry impacted US national parks
|
|
| For the first time in years, four US national parks opened the season without timed entry reservations. The trail trends tell a story beyond the viral videos. |

“We find that there’s much more to being a top trail. Is it highly rated? Is it crowded? Can you get the best views? There are a lot that are equally as good as, and maybe less crowded than, these more flagship trails.” |

|
| We’re proud to fund a restoration project at Delta Lake, one of Grand Teton National Park’s most popular trails. The project will improve visitor safety, prevent erosion, and protect sensitive vegetation. It’s thanks in great part to the support of our members. |
