Imagine yourself staring down a giant grizzly in Katmai National Park. Take a canoe ride alongside alligators in the swampy waters of the Everglades. Trek the trails that define our nation's most valuable public resource — the National Parks! Trekking the National Parks is an award-winning family board game that celebrates the U.S. national parks in a fun and competitive way. Players compete for points by claiming park cards and collecting trail stones as they travel across the map experiencing the wonders at each of these magnificent landscapes. The second edition of Trekking the National Parks features a more accessible rulebook, simplified movement rules to create a more streamlined play experience, new Major Park locations and wooden campsites that award special abilities to players, and a change to stone majority bonus points, with both the first- and second-place players now receiving points.
