Love it!
I prefer this book over Foder's. It elaborates on the parks a little bit better.
Awesome Companion
I purchased this after watching the National Parks documentary, and I was not disappointed.
This is not related at all to the documentary other than the subject matter.
The pictures are impressive and the detail by the writers is extensive. It contains a ton of good information about each of the National Parks and information on other places.
It is a very detailed guide as they walk you through what you should do and how long the trip will take.
I plan on using this is a guide whenever I go to any of the National Parks in the U.S. (first up is the Grand Canyon).
An Excellent Book about National PARKS!
This is an excellent guide to the fifty-eight national parks. It doesn't matter whether you are interested in week-long back-country hikes, overnight camping, a long hike in the woods, sight-seeing, or just driving through: this book is an in-depth guide to the parks, their history, their features, and what you need to see, bring, and know. The one-star review entitled "Not A Resource" is completely off-base. This book correctly notes that it is a guide to the national PARKS--not national historic sites or national lakeshores. My son and I visited Harper's Ferry this summer while we were biking the C&O Canal. I enjoyed Harper's Ferry, but it is a national historic site and NOT a national PARK. Isaiah and I also stopped at Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home in southern Indiana on our way from Saint Louis; I would recommend this site, too, but it is NOT a national PARK. Frankly, the author of that review should remove her post AND apologize to the National Geographic staff. This book is now in its sixth edition because it is that good. Buy it and pack it with you.
National Geographics has a winner with it's 6th Edition
This Guide to the National Parks is exactly what I'd hoped it would be. It provides interesting and most importantly, helpful information, It will be packed in my luggage when we leave for our trip to the National Parks around the USA.
great travel companion
This is the best guide to the US national parks. It is decriptive and accurate and thorough. I wish they had a spiral version so one could take out the park pages that you need for travel without having to take the whole book. I actually have 2 copies, one I keep intact and the second one I rip out the park pages that I am traveling to, and take along. These pages are a great guide while touring the parks.
