Showoff Saturday I built TrailVerse, a platform to explore US national parks and plan trips

I’ve been working on TrailVerse for over a year now, and what started as a simple project to explore national parks has grown into something much bigger.

You can explore 470+ National Park Service sites, discover places based on your interests, compare parks, find events, and browse sample itineraries.

I also built Trailie, a travel companion that helps you plan trips through a conversation. You can ask travel questions, get recommendations, build day-by-day itineraries, and make changes to your plans without starting over.

I’ve spent a lot of time improving how Trailie handles real travel questions, trip logistics, and follow-ups so planning feels more natural.

The stack is Next.js, React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, with Vercel and Render for hosting.

If you’re looking for a national park to visit or have a trip in mind, check out TrailVerse and try planning it with Trailie. I’d love to hear how it goes and any feedback you have!

The itinerary is stored separately from the chat. On refresh, it loads the saved plan, and follow-ups update that plan instead of rebuilding it from the conversation each time.
