National Geographic Guide to the National Parks of the United States, Fourth Edition





Straight forward and easy to use, here are firsthand, field-tested recommendations on what to see and how to organize and embark on a park trip. Acclaimed National Geographic writers introduce readers to all 55 U.S. national parks, conducting dozens of tours tailored to suit the needs of even the most ambitious sightseers. Widely recognized as the definitive guide to our nation's most cherished natural oases, this new edition of a long-standing bestseller provides in-depth insights and information, covering everything from major landmarks and wildlife to lesser-known attractions, accommodations, and suggested excursions.

Includes 450 full-color photographs and more than 75 up-to-date color maps; detailed descriptions of each national park; sight-by-sight author-guided tours full of specific, personal recommendations; Accessible Information and Activities pages; an essay by naturalist Paul Schullery; and excursions to hundreds of nearby sites, including national monuments, wildlife refuges, and forests.It's impressive how much National Geographic can squeeze into a small book. Each entry tells how big the park is, describes its flavor, indicates when it's best to go and how to get there, and includes an elegantly useful map. A detailed tour of the sights includes glorious pictures (450 total), highlighting the best of each park. But practicalities are not neglected: entries include headquarters' addresses and phones, entrance fees, facilities for the disabled, accommodations, pet regulations, and what there is to do. And so it goes for each of the 54 parks--it's a gem of a guide.
