6 PACKS, I8 PARKS National Parks Absolutely American
These Pair Nicely
National Parks are the best idea we ever had. Absolutely American, absolutely democratic, they reflect us at our best rather than our worst. — Wallace Stegner
Six 3-Packs, Eighteen Parks
Since the early days of Field Notes we have been searching for just the right way to create an edition celebrating America’s National Parks. When we saw the work of the artists of The Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series, we knew exactly what to do. We’re proud to present this collaboration and invite you to check out six 3-Packs and millions of acres of American treasure. Every sale contributes to the work of the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s National Parks, to help preserve and expand on our nation’s best idea.
Gorgeous illustrations of iconic National Parks are featured on the covers of these Memo Books, which are grouped into 3-Packs that make up the “National Parks” Series. Choose your favorite 3-Pack, or collect them all.

Nat’l Parks Box Set
Can’t decide? Save by getting (or giving) all six 3-Packs, featuring 18 National Parks, plus two Water Transfer Decals in a Custom Box.
A Step Backwards
The covers are printed on a variety of colored 100-lb. cover stocks from the French Paper Company of Niles, Michigan, using a custom, five-color process that started with under-printing white ink. This allowed us to incorporate the color of the paper into the artwork. The illustrative styles, the printing process, and the copper staples recall the heritage, and archival promotional materials and publications, of the National Park System.
Each book features a brief history of the park on its inside back cover, a spot for the official National Park Passport Stamp on the inside front cover, and 48 pages of Finch Opaque 60#T marked with a 3/16" graph to record your plans, routes, notes, and memories.
15 Million Acres in a Box
For gift-givers and completists, we’ve put together a special set including all six 3-Packs –18 parks in total– plus two of our “Official National Park Exploration Vehicle” Water-Transfer Decals. They fit nicely in a custom box. Save some money whether you’re buying or giving. National Park Box Sets are available right now with free USA shipping.
BTW: Our water-transfer decal which is based on the familiar signage found in America’s national parks and forests is available individually too.
National Treasure
These Field Notes are a tribute to places in the U.S.A. that can only truly be appreciated in person. Please visit, enjoy, and support our National Parks. We hope when you visit your favorite national park, you’ll bring along your new favorite memo book, get it stamped, and tag us in your photos.
And yes, we see your e-mails and comments asking about other parks… don’t think for a moment we don’t love ’em all, but we had to start somewhere! We'll continue to expand the series.
Press Sheets
Occasionally, when we’re running a print job, and the raw Press Sheets look particularly sweet, we put some aside to sell in our Shop at HQ, and once in a while, online too. This is one of those times.
They’ll look great framed in a workshop, kids room, den, or even near the kitchen in a timber-framed lodge with huge windows overlooking a meadow at dusk.
Each sheet is 26" x 40" and made up of 18 covers, printed on both sides. Click here for more information and to order.
