National Park Service Guide 🏞️

"Discover America's Story: The National Parks"

About

NPS Guide is a site where users can view available activities at a given national park and select their preferred activities to add to a bucket list. The inspiration for my project stems from my passion for exploring national parks, where I save activities in my phone that I want to check out while I am there. NPS Guide serves as a perfect solution!
