What the 4,000+ guides actually cover

This is broader than national parks alone. It is meant to reflect how people really plan outdoor travel across destinations and categories.

Core park systems

All US national parks, state parks, wildlife refuges, national forests, and national monuments.

State-wide recreation guides

All 50 states with recreation-oriented guide coverage so the app is useful between marquee park trips too.

Practical discovery categories

Scenic drives, top hikes, hot springs, swimming holes, natural wonders, covered bridges, historical sites, and coastal and beach access.

Why this matters for trip planning

Most travelers do not plan only one park in isolation. They plan the surrounding stops, backup options, and the useful detours that make a trip feel complete.

1. Discover

Find the right kind of stop

Search beyond one park boundary when you need the next trail, swim spot, scenic drive, or historical stop.

2. Connect

Pull guide coverage into the plan

The guides become more useful when they feed straight into your saved trip instead of living as disconnected reading.

3. Travel

Keep the context with you

Chimani+ adds the offline and planning layer that makes the guide library practical once you are actually on the move.

Guides plus planning

The guide library is strongest when it connects to trip planning, offline access, and ParklyTM.

If the depth of coverage is what brought you here, the subscription page is where the bigger planning workflow comes together.

Guides FAQ

The scope questions people ask once they realize Chimani is broader than just the flagship parks.

Does Chimani really cover all US national parks?

Yes. National parks are part of the core guide coverage, alongside state parks and other recreation systems.

What about places beyond parks?

Chimani also covers recreation categories like scenic drives, swimming holes, hot springs, natural wonders, beach access, and historical sites such as covered bridges.

Why include all 50 states?

Because outdoor travel rarely fits into one federal park list. State-wide guides make the app useful for broader regional planning and discovery.
