We are a blended family of five with a passion for exploring America's national parks. Through our travels and firsthand experiences, we share practical tips, travel advice, and educational resources to help families, classrooms, and communities discover and enjoy these incredible places. Our goal is to inspire others to explore, learn, and create lasting memories in our nation's parks.
Welcome! We’re the Schlitt family—the heart behind Parks with the Parents.
Our journey began in 2019 with a family trip to Grand Canyon National Park. It was our very first park adventure, and we were instantly hooked. Since then, exploring a new national park each year with our children has become a family tradition we cherish.
Over time, we’ve spent countless hours researching, planning, and preparing for each trip. Along the way, we’ve collected practical tips, helpful insights, and unforgettable stories from the parks we’ve explored.
Through Parks with the Parents, we’re excited to share that knowledge—helping other families plan meaningful, memorable adventures in America’s national parks.
Join us as we celebrate the beauty of the parks and inspire families to experience them together.
