Relive the excitement of your vacation in your own kitchen with delicious recipes inspired by the chefs, restaurants, and iconic foods of the national parks.

The national parks are beautiful, but all that hiking and camping can work up an appetite. Maybe that’s why so many parks feature a legendary restaurant or lodge that serves iconic dishes.

For example, The El Tovar Hotel is a true destination along the edge of the Grand Canyon, greeting guests from humble to presidential since 1905 and serving up memorable dishes like Salmon Tostada with fire-roasted corn and greens with a tequila and prickly-pear vinaigrette.

Then there’s Signal Mountain Lodge at Grand Teton National Park, Roosevelt Lodge at Yellowstone, and the Spotswood Dining Room at Shenandoah National Park. What’s more, most of these restaurants have a few signature dishes that nearly all visitors must try. For example, at Acadia’s Jordan Pond House, the popovers are so popular that the patio is often full!
