Trekking the National Parks: Third Edition

About this board game

Trekking the National Parks: Third Edition is a family board game for 1–5 players, with a play time of about 60 minutes, in which you race across the country to visit America’s national parks.

Compete for points by camping at parks and collecting trail stones as you travel. Every Park card features a gorgeous photograph and interesting facts, while expanded park write-ups on the card backs offer even more reasons to explore these protected natural wonders.

The Third Edition refreshes the experience with updated terminology and streamlined scoring. “Claim a Park Card” is now called “Explore a Park,” and “Occupy a Major Park” is now “Camp at a Major Park.” Ties for Most and 2nd Most of a stone color are now friendly, so tied players no longer cancel one another out.

• Solo Mode: Play as the bear and race the Trekkers to visit parks before they overrun the campsites with their tents.
• Updated scoring: The new scorepad tracks Most and 2nd Most stone bonuses, including ties between multiple players.
• Updated presentation: Enjoy new artwork by Eric Hibbeler, added park photography by Johnathan Irish, and a new scorepad.
• New components: Major Parks are now cardboard tiles, and the game includes new stone molds.

With its competitive race, accessible family gameplay, and rich park photography, Trekking the National Parks combines collecting and campsite decisions with an inspiring look at the United States’ national parks. The 2024 edition makes the journey even more informative and polished.
