U.S. States

My wife and I completed state no. 50 when we landed in Anchorage, Alaska on the night of September 2, 2016. Not only did we both complete the journey, we had visited each and every state together up to that point (also making sure we visited states the other person had not yet been to). Even though we’ve been to all 50, doesn’t mean we’ve seen everything here, there are plenty of reasons for more visits to every state. 

Current status: 50 of 50 states visited. In addition I’ve spent at least one overnight in 45 different states and have been to 41 state capital cities as well as 44 of each state’s largest city. As of 2022 I’ve visited every state at least twice with the exception of Maine and Oklahoma.  BOLDED STATES: These are states where I’ve visited every single county within.

U.S. Territories + Districts

This is where it gets a bit trickier. Once the states are done, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve been everywhere in the U.S. (Heck, that holds true for everyone but the most ardent county-counters). There are still those pesky territories!! Some are harder to get to than others – namely the Pacific Ocean destinations (Pro-tip: Try to plan to visit Guam and the Northern Marianas in one trip!). Some diehards may count the U.S. minor outlying islands (such as Wake, Baker, etc) and other various claims. I won’t for now – unless I’m fortunate enough in my wealth and exploits that I manage to forge a path to those places in my life.

Current status: 5 of 6 U.S. Territories and Districts visited

• Washington, D.C. (Capital Area: Capitol Hill. Largest Census Tract Area: Tenleytown/Friendship Heights. Spent a night: Y)
• American Samoa (Capital City: Pago Pago. Largest City: Pago Pago. Spent a night: N). Populated Islands: Tutuila, Aunuʻu, Ofu, Olosega, Taʻū, Swains Island)
• Guam (Capital City: Hagåtña. Largest City: Dededo. Spent a night: Y)

• U.S. Virgin Islands (Capital City: Charlotte Amalie. Largest City: Charlotte Amalie. Spent a night: Y. Populated Islands: St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix)

Canadian Provinces + Territories

I have an undying love for Canada. I can’t quite put my finger on it – but for the serious traveler with a love of roadtripping through all nature has to offer, Canada is the place to be. Everything is a little more remote and relaxed in Canada than in the U.S., and I guess that’s what brings me back and makes it a destination I could visit year after year. 

Current status: 12 of 13 Provinces and Territories visited. In addition I’ve spent at least one overnight in 9 provinces/territories and have been to 8 provincial/territorial capitals (as well as the national capital, Ottawa).

• Alberta (Capital City: Edmonton. Spent a night: Y)

Travelers’ Century Club Status

If you are not familiar with the Travelers’ Century Club, you can check out their website here. Their definition of what is a “country” is a bit more liberal than most, separating the world into 330 separate entities. This list is similar to the one above except you will notice a few additions (like Hawai’i being and Prince Edward Island being represented separately). You need to have visited at least 100 of these to join the club. 

Current status: 39/329

Continents

A bigger deal to me, over the course of my life, is to step foot on every continent. Yes, this includes on of my major priorities, Antarctica. This seems to be a reasonable lifetime goal for even the most budget-minded traveler.

Current status: 4 of 7 Continents visited.

• Africa
• Antarctica
• Asia
• Australia
• Europe
• North America
• South America

U.S. National Parks

There are a few more National Parks than U.S States and major territories combined (63 to 56) and while collecting States may be the most popular goal of stateside travelers – U.S. National Parks is probably a close second. I have been lazy when it comes to collecting the parks – even passing up chances when I was nearby – though it is slowly creeping up my list of priorities as I become more enamored with North American travel as a whole. These areas represent some of the finest forms of nature in our country and I hope I can add more to my list in the coming years.

Current status: 39 of 63 U.S. National Parks visited (62%).

U.S. National Park Units

The goal of collecting a visit to every U.S. National Park Unit is a steep, steep one indeed. Some people do it – especially influenced by the National Park Passport Program. Included in this list are the National Parks as well. The units are one of those things that you can add as roadside stops, since these are literally scattered throughout the country and it’s difficult to keep track of them all. My goal – for now – is to just keep track of the ones I add along the way… This is the official list of all 423 units, although many of these have sub-units as well. While a visit to merely one sub-unit of a park counts as a visit to a park, some hardcore travelers will visit every site. Many sub-units also have their own passport stamp, making it a “new” unit to collect and visit in the mind of stamp collectors. I recently started collecting stamps as I go and have used that as an excuse to visit some of the sites as well. A great resource for park stamp collectors is parkstamps.org.

Canadian National Parks

Because I declare myself an “honorary travel citizen” of Canada, it is, of course, in my best interest to keep track of all my “Parks Canada” visits. Canadian parks have a whole new intrigue – some are so far off the beaten path, they are essentially impossible for the common traveler to visit. In some ways I welcome the challenge of visiting these wonderful parts of our northern neighbor. It’s certainly a more unique travel goal for the U.S.-based traveler.

Parks Canada National Historic Sites

Canada, like the U.S., has a plethora of areas protected by its federal park agency. Parks Canada (akin to the U.S. National Park Service) not only protects and runs Canada’s National Parks, but oversees over 160 of the nearly 1,000 National Historic Sites of Canada (many are run by other various organizations, private and public alike). I took the time to list the sites protected directly by Parks Canada and eliminated sites that are already situated within Canada’s National Parks (Parks Canada seems to distinguish these as protected entities on their own merits). Is that confusing enough? Basically I separated ones that you wouldn’t just find while traversing one of the main parks – these all take a separate and exclusive trip to go see.

UNESCO World Heritage Sites

We are well over the 1,000 mark for UNESCO’s (officially the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) tally of World Heritage sites. Despite the large number of sites, the UNESCO list is a fairly exclusive group. In fact, only 22 sites are within U.S. states or territories (a small group, considering the near 400 strong list of U.S. National Parks sites). Taos Pueblo in New Mexico, Cahokia Mounds in Illinois and Poverty Point in Louisiana aren’t even National Parks! While visiting every World Heritage Site is an almost impossible mission, I decided it is worth noting the ones I’ve visited. 

Current status: 31 visited.

• Antigua and Barbuda (Antigua Naval Dockyard and Related Archaeological Sites*)
• Australia (Royal Exhibition Buildings and Carlton Gardens-Melbourne, Australian Convict Sites-Port Arthur)
• Canada (Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks, Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Historic District of Old Quebec, Kluane / Wrangell-St Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini-Alsek, Rideau Canal, Waterton Glacier Int. Peace Park)

Note: Visited the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument Visitor Center in Hilo, HI – outside of the boundaries of the Monument itself.

Minnesota State Parks

I’ve lived in a few states in my lifetime and if you count at least a year as a threshold, then I’ve made four states my home (you could add a couple more if you lower it to at least one month). I’ve lived in all four major continental U.S. time zones – so, yes, I’ve experienced both football at 10 a.m. and west coast games ending in the wee hours of the morning.

Minnesota is my current home state and I’m currently on a quest to see as many – if not all – of the state parks here. There are 76 state parks plus an additional nine state waysides, amounting to 85 spots on this list.

U.S. Inhabited Islands in the Contiguous 48

This list represents public civilian island communities (outside purely privately owned/military/research establishments) that are only accessible via water or air transport (no road linkage). This list is hardly exhaustive. The gist of this list was to include islands populated by civilians, are publicly (and reasonably) accessible by boat or airplane, and are not immediately and directly associated with a nearby island wherein they can be grouped with instead (with some case-by-case exceptions, like the islands off of Portland, ME I include separately as well as Ohio’s Bass islands and Washington’s San Juan islands). Using this rough guidelines, I’ve counted 50 (not including Alaska and Hawaii). Listed by state:

• California (1) – Santa Catalina
• Maine (14) – Chebeague Island, Cliff Island, Frenchboro, Great Diamond Island, Isle au Haut, Islesboro, Long Island, Mantinicus, Monhegan, North Haven, Peaks Island, Swan’s Island,Town of Cransberry Isles, Vinalhaven
• Maryland (1) – Smith Island
• Massachusetts (2) – Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket
• Michigan (8) – Beaver Island, Bois Blanc Island, Drummond Island, Grand Island, Harsens Island, Mackinac Island, Neebish Island, Sugar Island
• Minnesota (1) – Northwest Angle Islands
• New York (1) – Fishers Island
• North Carolina (1) – Ocracoke Island
• Ohio (1) – Kelleys Island, Middle Bass Island, North Bass Island, South Bass Island
• Rhode Island (1) – Block Island
• Virginia (1) – Tangier Island
• Washington (16) – Anderson Island, Blakely Island, Cypress Island, Decatur Island, Gedney (Hat) Island, Guemes Island, Ketron Island, Lopez Island, Lummi Island, McNeil Island, Orcas Island, San Juan Island, Shaw Island, Stuart Island, Vashon-Maury Island, Waldron Island
• Wisconsin (2) – Madeline Island, Washington Island

U.S. Extreme Settlements
