Quick facts
Start this quest to track your progress and log each stop as you go.
Bag them in any order. Each one you log brings the park count up.
This collection gathers the United States national parks of California, Oregon, Washington, and the Great Basin edge of Nevada into one West Coast project. It spans the temperate rainforest of Olympic, the giant sequoias of the southern Sierra, the granite of Yosemite, the volcanic country of Lassen and Crater Lake, and the deep desert of Death Valley.
The Pacific states hold one of the densest and most varied clusters of national parks in the country. Grouping them lets you plan a realistic regional road trip rather than treating each park as an isolated trip, and it rewards the kind of multi-park travel the West Coast is built for.
It is for hikers and park travelers who want a focused West Coast goal instead of the full national passport. It works whether you are starting from the Bay Area, the Pacific Northwest, or planning one long coastal drive.
The best season for West Coast National Parks is Spring, Summer, Fall.
West Coast National Parks has 14 checkpoints to log on the way to finishing it.
