This June marks our fourth annual #PrideInOurParks campaign, celebrating stories from the LGBTQ+ community in our national parks – and we’re so excited to take you to the parks again as part of NPCA’s mission to ensure parks are inclusive and accessible to all
We’re inviting the LBGTQ+ community on free day trips in three different national parks, led by NPCA staff and featuring some of your favorite queer outdoor influencers.

NPCA’s work centers around ensuring everyone feels welcome and included in our national parks. We’re proud to support the LGBTQ+ community all year, uplifting the voices and visions of queer creators, and continually working to protect history with national park sites like Stonewall National Monument.
Can’t make it on one of our trips but still want to celebrate Pride with NPCA? Share your #PrideInOurParks story on Instagram by tagging @NPCApics and submitting your story to MyParkStory.
