Choose a national park for your next trip
National parks are very different trips. Some are long hikes and steep trails, some are scenic drives with short walks, and some are a long way from the nearest airport. A single vote hides all of that. Let everyone rank the parks privately, so the group lands on one that fits both the hikers and the people who want the view from the car.
- Zion
- Yellowstone
- Glacier
- Acadia
- Grand Teton

Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- Hikers and casual sightseers both get a real say.
- Travel time to the park comes through honestly in private rankings.
- The full order gives you a fallback if lodging near the winner is full.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 30 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Check each park’s website for entry reservations and seasonal closures before you rank.
- Add the nearest airport or drive time to each option.
- Run a second rank for the hikes once the park is picked.
Questions
When should we decide?
Early. Lodging and campsites near popular parks can fill well ahead of the season, so pick the park first and book right after the reveal.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
