Specialty Travel Resources Traveling to unique destinations such as national parks or for specific activities such as hiking and skiing is frequently possible without a car. Public Transportation is available to and locally within many national parks and many other unique destinations or travel activities can also be accessed without driving. When public transportation doesn't serve your destination directly, but is available nearby, walking, biking, taxis and car-sharing offer convenient options for the first or last few miles. This page outlines just a few of the many unique destinations and activities that can be easily visited without a car. Additional listings will be added as they are discovered and new services introduced. To address problems created by the ever growing popularity of our national parks, several parks have initiated shuttle services to help visitors enjoy everything the parks have to offer without the impact inherent with driving. With the remarkable success of these shuttles, many other parks are planning similar services. National Park Service - The National Park Service's web site has detailed information on each National Park, Monument and Recreational Area, including accommodations, hiking trails, ranger led activities, and public transportation to and within the park where it is available. To access public transportation information click on "Find a Park" on the home page to access the park you plan to visit. Then click on "Directions". Some parks have information and links to public transportation on this page or they have a further link titled "Public Transportation".

Traveling to and around ski areas is frequently possible without a car. Many ski areas provide shuttles between nearby resorts and the slopes, sometimes as part of packages that include lift tickets and other amenities. Getting to and from the resort is also possible in many instances via scheduled public transportation services or by special services operated by sports companies, resorts or the ski area itself. I have been unable to find a comprehensive nationwide list of ski areas and resorts that can be easily visited without a car and plan to create such a list. Meanwhile, I have included a few resources below. This page outlines just a few of the many ski areas and resorts that can be easily visited without a car.
