How long to drive to every US national park?
The 52 US national parks a road reaches, out of 64, by car: the real trip by road, from each park's main visitor center to the next.
Remember this
17,608 miles, 3 months and 6 days at 8 h on the road a day and a day in each park. The order is the shortest in driving time our algorithm found (OSRM). Gas at $4.27 a gallon (EIA), 25.6 mpg (EPA), and a $80 annual pass. 12 parks no road reaches are left out.
