Unable to attend a Google-hosted meet-up near you? Host your own meet-up!
There are hundreds of national parks and historic sites across the country. Find a location near you, choose an activity, and rally your friends. Spread the word by sharing your plans on Connect — use the tags: National Parks, NPS, centennial, and meet-up so others can find you.
Submit the details of your meet-up and we'll add it to our My Map of centennial meet-ups. The more the merrier!

When do we find out if it's being added to the map? They didn't ask for my name or login.

We'll be adding meet-ups to the My Map on a rolling basis throughout the week.
There are name and email fields in the form, but we won't be emailing or alerting you if/when your meet-up has been added.

Hi Meg! I submitted a meetup early this morning (8/16/2016) as well, to hike the Narrows in Zions National Park in Utah this Saturday... Is there anything else I have to do? Also, I read that the park fee is covered in the submission form. How does that work? I have not hosted a meetup before. Want to be sure I do this right! 😄 Here is the event I created to share: https://plus.google.com/events/cdkvrkkkalmnj8reno07lhqdhb8

Hi @KatieS, so long as you've submitted the form you're good to go.
Re: any fees, we are only covering parks fees for the meet-ups we're hosting. You're own your own for any expenses you incur for self-led meet-ups.
Thanks for clarifying and have a blast!

Just filled in the form for the photo walk at Muir Woods on the 28th. Should be a blast 🙂

I just added one for NYC!
I've hosted World Wide Instameets before, but this will be my first time with Google so any suggestions or corrections are definitely encouraged! Thanks!

Update: We've updated our My Map with details for any meet-ups that provided a link to either an event page or their Connect post. Don't see your meet-up? Please update the form with a link to details so others know when, where, and who to connect with. Replying to this thread with a link works too.
Thanks, and we hope you enjoy exploring the parks as much as we do!
