Skyblue Overland is thrilled to announce the completion of its comprehensive Adventurer’s Guides to all 63 US National Parks. This monumental achievement underscores our commitment to providing outdoor enthusiasts with the most detailed, insightful, and inspiring guides available. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or a novice adventurer, our guides offer an unparalleled resource for planning unforgettable experiences in America’s most cherished natural landscapes.
A Passion Project
Skyblue Overland is the passion project of Brian Hamilton, an engineering geologist with more than 35 years of experience in capital projects in and near several national parks. Brian’s extensive background and personal adventures have infused these guides with a unique blend of professional insight and heartfelt passion. He once spent several weeks in Glacier National Park mapping the condition of each retaining wall on Going-To-The-Sun Road and later installed water wells near the Hoh Rainforest in the Olympic Peninsula. This deep connection to the parks is evident in every guide, offering readers a rare perspective on these natural wonders.
A Journey Through America’s Natural Wonders
From the towering peaks of Denali to the lush rainforests of Olympic, the expansive deserts of Death Valley to the vibrant coral reefs of Biscayne, the US National Parks system encompasses an astonishing diversity of ecosystems and landscapes. Each park tells its own unique story, woven from the threads of history, ecology, and geology. At Skyblue Overland, we believe that understanding these stories enriches the experience of visiting these natural treasures.

Exhaustive Articles on History, Ecology, and Geology
Our Adventurer’s Guides delve deep into the rich histories of each park. We explore the ancient cultures that first inhabited these lands, the pioneering explorers who charted their course, and the conservationists who fought to protect them. Understanding the human history of these parks provides a profound context for their significance and the ongoing efforts to preserve them for future generations.
Ecology is at the heart of our guides. Each park is home to unique flora and fauna, adapted to its specific environment. From the grizzly bears of Yellowstone to the saguaro cacti of Saguaro National Park, we provide detailed information on the species you may encounter, their roles within the ecosystem, and the best times and places to observe them. Our guides also highlight the conservation challenges facing these parks and the efforts being made to address them.
Geology often shapes the very essence of a park. The dramatic landscapes of the Grand Canyon, the geothermal wonders of Yellowstone, the sculpted arches of Arches National Park—all are the result of geological processes millions of years in the making. Our guides offer a comprehensive look at the geological history of each park, explaining how these processes have created the stunning features we see today.

Safety is paramount in any outdoor adventure, and our guides include practical tips for staying safe while exploring the parks. From preparing for changing weather conditions to understanding wildlife safety protocols, we ensure that you have the knowledge you need to enjoy your adventure responsibly.

Finding the right accommodations can significantly enhance your national park experience. Our guides cover a wide range of options, from rustic campgrounds where you can sleep under the stars to luxurious lodges that offer all the comforts of home in the heart of the wilderness. We provide detailed information on amenities, reservation processes, and tips for securing the best spots, whether you’re pitching a tent or booking a cabin.
