| National Parks Passport Cancellations You can buy a Passport to Your National Parks at nearly every unit of the National Park Service. There are two versions. One is a smaller book that fits in your pocket. Another size is larger and has more room for cancellations. At each site of the National Park Service (plus sites not run by them but affiliated with them, like national trails and national heritage areas) you will find cancellation stampers which you ink and then use to stamp a cancellation into your passport book. Some sites, usually the larger ones, have different stampers in different areas or visitor centers. For example, in Grand Canyon National Park there are at least ten different stampers located in visitor centers and buildings spread out all over the park. It's fun to collect the different cancellations in your parks passport. I am a member of the National Parks Travelers Club and they have a great Website about the parks passport program. On it is a master list of exact locations where you can find the cancellation stampers. They also issue awards based on the number of cancellations you have obtained in a year and based on the number of National Park Service units you have visited in your lifetime. If you click here you will see "mountains" with the number of units various club members have visited over their lifetimes. I am listed on the "bronze" mountain. |
