The Geek’s Oasis Scouts Guide To Picking Jigsaw Puzzles
Now, no one in the Geek’s Oasis office actually has any boy or girl scout experience at laying traps or tracking stuff, but we have all seen many episodes of Ducktales and feel that we can take what they learned from the Junior Woodchucks and use it to track down the best puzzles.
Well, turns out that did not help at all, but it did give us an excuse to watch some more Ducktales. However, we did do our research and came up with a great list of National Park puzzles that capture their beauty and history very well.

This Americanflat American National Parks Puzzle 500 Pieces is the easiest (well in theory it is easy) of the jigsaw puzzles we have for you. This is a lovely image, actually, it is a piece of art!
It has the National Parks logo right in the middle and around the side we have these incredibly drawn posters of eight of the great National Parks such as Bryce Canyon and Acadia.
It is such a striking image that it would look amazing in a frame and hanging on the wall. The images here have a rather “art deco” style to them and that is something we feel is very cool!

FAQs About National Parks Jigsaw Puzzles
We are very confident with our suggestions when it comes to what is the best National Parks puzzle. However, we do also have a few FAQs that might help you make the right decision.
Can I Make My Own Puzzle?
While we are very happy with our suggestions today if you are someone that has visited some of our great parks and has many amazing photos - hear this out.
You can actually get your photos turned into a jigsaw puzzle. That could be something to consider if you have a park that is particularly special to you.
However, if you are worried about the quality of your photo when it is blown up and turned into a jigsaw puzzle, you are probably better going for a ready-made puzzle of National Parks like one of the ones we have suggested today.
How Can I Display My Puzzle?
We have looked at all kinds of jigsaw puzzles here at Geek’s Oasis from 300 piece puzzles to 3000 piece puzzles and beyond!
However, we always say that some jigsaw puzzles are so cool that they deserve to be framed and that rings doubly true for a National Parks puzzle like we have looked at here today!
Thankfully, framing a jigsaw puzzle is way easier than you would think. We have looked at puzzle gifts before and here you can get ideas of things like puzzle frames, puzzle glue, and more that will all help you make our puzzle you can display with pride.
A Backpack Filled With Advice For You!
Here at Geek’s Oasis, we like to close things with some insightful advice…. Or just some more rambling, it is up to you to decide!
Anyway, we know that it may be quite surprising at just how much choice there is when it comes to finding that perfect National Parks puzzle. We have listed some that we feel are truly amazing and would be a great deal of fun to put together.
However, we would say that you need to think about if you want a more “landscape” style of image that captures one of our National Parks or if you want something that captures the “spirit” of many of our National Parks.
At the end of the day, we suggest whichever one you think has the coolest image is the one you go for!
Happy Puzzling!
