This collection brings together the United States national parks of the tropics and outer islands, including Hawaii Volcanoes, Virgin Islands, and American Samoa.
These parks are geographically scattered and often overlooked in a continental road-trip mindset, yet they hold some of the most distinctive landscapes in the system: active lava, volcanic crater rims, coral reefs, and South Pacific rainforest. Grouping them gives this far-flung set a single, plannable identity.
It is for travelers who want the island and tropical end of the park system, and who are willing to plan around flights rather than a single drive.
