It’s National Park Week, and what better way to celebrate than with a road trip to visit some of them? This epic route spans nearly 17,000 miles and takes about two months to complete, without even stopping to explore the parks.

Luckily, the loop is easy to break into segments for long weekends or week-long adventures, so you can hop on and off whenever you want. If you're up for the challenge, you could work remotely and try to see all the parks this year in their full glory (and if you do, you have to tell us).

Check out Matador’s ultimate national park road trip map—and don’t forget to queue up our Spotify playlist while you’re at it.
