Expedia Launches Website for National Park Trips
Posted by Muir on October 6, 2009
Expedia is partnering with the National Park Foundation on a new website to help travelers planning trips to national parks. The site was launched to coincide with Ken Burns’ new documentary on PBS, “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.”
The site includes downloadable park maps, lodging and other content from the National Park Foundation. The site uses Expedia travel reservations to book reservations outside the parks, but it cannot reserve campsites or lodges within the parks. For in-park stays, you need to visit the National Parks website.
The site also includes suggestions for long weekend getaways and a series called “Can’t-Miss National Parks.” The first five parks featured in the series are the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Glacier, Olympic and Yosemite.
