Welcome to The Mountains Please, a site dedicated to planning and traveling the national parks of the United States and beyond!

Our Story

Hi there, we're Scott and Kathy! We are here to help guide you when visiting the U.S. National Parks and beyond.

Our Journey to visit all of the U.S. National Parks began in 2015. So far, we have made it to 36 of the 63 National Parks. We plan each of our trips down to the smallest detail ourselves and try to find the best hikes, coolest accommodations, and most scenic views. Our itineraries are perfect for those who do not like to camp, but love to travel and hike. Furthermore, we don't get paid to travel, so all of our experiences are authentic.

We hope this site helps you plan your next adventure. This site is a work in progress, but please reach out to us if you have any questions.
