Every great National Park adventure begins long before you arrive at the park.
Planning a trip to a National Park often means jumping between dozens of websites to find weather conditions, trail information, alerts, road closures, campground availability, webcams, and other important information. The data exists, but it is scattered across countless sources, making it difficult to get a complete picture before and during your adventure.
ParkGauge was built to change that.
Our mission is simple. Bring the most important National Park information together in one place, giving visitors a single dashboard to plan smarter, stay informed, and spend more time enjoying the outdoors instead of searching the internet. By combining live park data, conditions, alerts, weather, maps, and trip planning resources into one experience, ParkGauge helps make every adventure safer, easier, and more enjoyable. The National Park Service provides much of this information through public data resources, but it is often spread across multiple systems and formats. ParkGauge brings it together in a simple, intuitive experience.
ParkGauge is a passion project created by an avid hiker, backpacker, camper, and outdoor enthusiast who also spent an entire career in Silicon Valley designing digital products and user experiences. After years of building technology for some of the world's largest organizations, the goal became simple. Use those same design principles to build something that gives back to the places that have given so much.
We believe technology should never replace the outdoor experience. It should quietly enhance it. Whether you are planning your first visit to Yellowstone, your annual camping trip with family, or your next backcountry adventure, ParkGauge exists to help you spend less time searching for information and more time creating unforgettable memories.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make every National Park adventure easier to plan, safer to experience, and more memorable to share so more people can discover, explore, and protect our public lands.
We believe that informed visitors become better stewards. By making trusted information easier to access, we hope to encourage more people to experience the incredible beauty of our National Parks while helping preserve these extraordinary places for generations to come.
