Which national parks allow drones?

Unfortunately, you cannot put your plan into action. National Parks were classified as “no drone” zones in 2014. And flying here means stiff penalties. For drone pilots, this is a huge missed opportunity — the NPS controls some 417 parks, 23 trails, and 60 rivers.
