How to Use This Map

Each marker represents a single park plotted at its recorded coordinates. Markers are color-coded by overall rating across seven tiers: dark green (80 to 100, Exceptional), green (70 to 79, Excellent), light green (60 to 69, Great), yellow-green (50 to 59, Good), gold (40 to 49, Average), orange (30 to 39, Below Average), and red (0 to 29, Poor). Grey markers indicate parks that have not yet been rated.

When parks are close together, they group into numbered clusters. Zoom in or click a cluster to expand it into individual markers. Use the control bar to filter by country, park classification, or minimum rating. Try filtering to a single country to plan a trip, or set the minimum rating to 80 to find only top-rated destinations.
