How distance is measured:
Distances below are straight-line estimates from the city coordinates to NPS site coordinates.
They are not road mileage or drive times. For trails, parkways, rivers, and other corridor units,
the NPS reference coordinate may not represent the nearest visitor access point. Use each park's official
directions and current alerts before planning a trip.
Use these distances to compare options, then open the individual park pages for current alerts, visitor centers,
campgrounds, things to do, and official directions. For road mileage, seasonal access, reservations, and closures,
verify the latest information with the National Park Service before traveling.
