The Great Wild Journey Playlist

Every great road trip needs its soundtrack.

This playlist follows the Great Wild Journey, the route that links all the US national parks, with one song chosen for each park. It starts in the mangroves of Biscayne, crosses deserts, canyons, glaciers and forests, and ends in the hot springs of Arkansas, with Alaska, Hawaii and the islands as a bonus. Some songs are about the places themselves, some just sound like them. Listen in order and you’ll travel the whole loop from your sofa, or bring it along and let each park have its song.
