Sunrise Tours traveler Mark Lay recently accomplished a travel goal few people ever complete: visiting all 63 U.S. National Parks. What began with childhood camping trips grew into a lifelong love of America’s National Parks, eventually becoming a personal mission inspired in part by Sunrise Tours Vice President Caleb Lawson.

Along the way, Mark visited 25 National Parks on Sunrise Tours journeys, traveled to remote destinations across Alaska and the Lower 48, and rediscovered childhood memories that made the experience even more meaningful. His story is a reminder of just how much there is to explore across the United States, and how one trip can inspire many more.
