I've traveled solo to all 63 US national parks. Here are my 10 best tips for first-time visitors.
Briefly

"Don't be afraid to go alone. When I entered my 30s, I wanted to visit the Grand Canyon but had no one to go with. Instead of waiting for company, I went for it alone. That was just eight years ago, and now I've visited hundreds of NPS sites and all 50 states on my own. None of that would have happened if I hadn't taken that first step solo."
"Visitation at some of the most iconic national parks has exploded, leading to frustrating crowds and congestion. To mitigate this, I always recommend entering a park early in the morning. If you're not an early riser, later in the afternoon, when other visitors leave, is also a good time to explore."
"For just $80, an America the Beautiful Pass gains you (and those in your vehicle) entry into all of the 63 major national parks. It also covers the entry fees at lands managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, and US Army Corps of Engineers. With some parks charging entrance fees of $35 alone, just a few visits per year will recoup your investment."
