Rules

In order to complete the Parks Adventure, you will need to prepare to submit your records for certification when you are done:

Visit each of the 24 National Parks listed, in one calendar year.

• You may visit the Parks in any order and follow any route you desire.
• The Parks Adventure includes riding your motorcycle from your home to the parks being visited and back to your home.
• Document each visit with a selfie and a Park stamp at each Park visited.
• The selfie would have you, your bike, and the Park landmark. If that becomes problematic, either you or your bike with the landmark will suffice.
• Get a stamp at each Park, on a piece of paper or you may choose to purchase a Parks Adventure Book to collect your stamps. Take a picture of the Park Stamp.
• If you choose to purchase an SCMA Parks Adventure Book to collect your stamps and photos, members can login to this site to purchase our Parks Adventure Book for $50 at the bottom of this page.  There is a Login button and a Join button in the upper right corner of the menu visible on each page if you are not currently a member.  There is also a Click Here to Join button available on the Membership page.
• The dates on the stamp photo and the selfie must match.
• There are no time extensions for any reason, including weather, mechanical failures, accidents, illness, etc.

NOTE:  A number of these Parks may be partially or fully closed during winter. It is strongly suggested to check Park hours and road conditions via the NPS website www.nps.gov prior to your visit.

There are options for collecting and submitting your records that indicate you visited all of the Parks:

• You may choose to document each visit with your selfie and Parks stamp photo recorded in SpotWalla. You would email the link to the ride you created in SpotWalla records to the Ride Chair. The Ride Chair will be able to view the track of the ride and all the pictures that have been embedded. Refer to the Electronic Journaling page for more information about SpotWalla.
• If you purchased the Parks Adventure book you will be able to mail the completed book to the Ride Chair for review with all the stamps and photos.
• You could also mail or email a ride log with copies of Park stamp photos and email a cloud link of the Park selfie photos.

When you have completed the ride, members will be able to visit the Parks Adventure Certification tab on the SCMA website and request to have their ride completion certified.  We will announce when the certification process, including ordering swag, is ready later this year.

Certified Finishers will be invited to attend Finishers’ celebrations.
