Collecting Cancellation Stamp

NPS Photo/Hallie Larsen

Collect your cancellation stamp! Collecting cancellation stamps has been popular for many visitors for decades, one of the first things they ask for when they enter the visitor centers. The cancellation ink usually reflects the color section of the passport—e.g. Petrified Forest has green ink for the green section. There are multiple dated stamps as well as a couple of image stamps. People use the passports, journals, postcards, brochures, maps, and other creative places.
