US national parks tier list templates
A US national parks tier list maker with all 63 official National Parks already in the pool, each with a public-domain landscape. Drag them into S through F, keep the ones you have walked if you want a travel list, then export a PNG. No account to make or download.
Also known as: national parks tier list, us national park ranking, 63 national parks tier list, national park ranking chart.
What people usually rank
A park list is either "which one I would visit" or "which landscape is the picture". Those fight on the same rows if you do not pick.
- All 63, which is the default and still finishable in one sitting.
- Parks you have actually walked, which is a travel list and should say so.
- Landscapes as pictures, ignoring facilities, crowds, and the gift shop.
- A region: the Southwest, Alaska, the Appalachians, so the board stays local.
- One-day visits versus backcountry, which are two different trips.

How to make a US national parks tier list
- Open the loaded board. All 63 official National Parks are in the unranked pool. National monuments, forests, and recreation areas are not in this set. Add them yourself if that is the list you meant.
- Say visited, or beautiful, or both on two boards. A park you have not seen can still sit in S as a landscape. A park you loved in the rain can sit in A as a memory. Mixing those on one set of rows is how the comments ask whether you have been.
- Cut to a region if 63 is wide. Alaska is a short, fierce board. The Colorado Plateau is another. Delete the rest.
- Export the picture. PNG for the trip-planning chat. Publishing lets someone start from the same 63 without collecting photographs.
What you can do
- 63 parks already loaded, the official National Park list, not monuments mixed in.
- Landscape pictures from NPS and related US government work, not stock travel photos.
- Names on the tiles, because canyon-and-sky shots cluster.
- Rows you can rename to visited / someday / never, or keep S through F.
- Works on a phone.
- PNG export, no account, nothing drawn across the landscapes except the site address in the corner.
Make your own tier list
All 63
The default. One picture of the whole system. Dense, but that is the point of a complete set.
Parks you have walked
Delete the rest. A honest travel list, and a short one for most people.
One region
The Southwest, the Sierra, Alaska. A closed set that still looks like a landscape ranking.
First-timer shortlist
Rank the ones a first trip should hit. Put the rest aside. The title has to say that, or it reads as an all-time list.
Common questions
Are monuments included?
No. This board is the 63 units titled National Park. Monuments, seashores and recreation areas can be added as extra tiles if you want them.
Are the photos from the parks?
They are public-domain NPS and related US government landscapes. They are not your trip photos. Swap any picture for your own if you have one.
Can I rank parks I have not visited?
Yes, if the title says you are ranking landscapes or a wish list. A "visited" list that includes parks you have not walked is the fight the comments will have.
What about New River Gorge and Gateway Arch?
They are National Parks and they are on the board. The set follows the official list, not a greatest-hits poster.
Do I need an account?
Not to make or export. Publishing a public page needs an account.
