The Pocket Ranger® National Parks Passport app is now available!

This FREE all-inclusive outdoor guide was created by ParksByNature Network, LLC, and is sponsored by Subaru.

Powered by Pocket Ranger® technology, the app contains everything you need to plan a trip to the national parks, navigate them once you get there, and share your experiences afterward. 2016 marks the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service, with special events happening at the parks all year long.

The app includes information on over 400 national parks, recreation areas, monuments, historic sites, etc., coast-to-coast from Acadia National Park to Zion National Park. Also learn about Subaru’s Zero-Landfill Initiative; a partnership with the NPS and NPCA to utilize Subaru’s expertise to reduce the over 100 million pounds of garbage generated by people visiting the parks each year. Starting with Denali up to Grand Teton, Subaru is helping to make a difference.
