love this book! great resource was very useful for my tour of some national parks/monuments, etc, helping with planning where to stay, which visitor centers were best for me, learning about some of the geology and natural forces at work in each area, and specifics as to what to expect when I got there. It was my "go to" book in planning each visit. The US keeps adding new monuments et al so it's best to get the most recent version of this book.After reading this, you will want to "find your park" Great primer on all of the National Parks, but that's just what it is - a primer. I wish it had been more detailed, exploring the background and history of each park, but I suppose this would have turned into a series, rather than a one-off.Also, I suppose it's only natural, but the "stars" of the national park system - such as Yosemite or Yellowstone get more coverage than small, lesser known parks. Too bad, because imo, the "stars" already have enough of the spotlight shone on them through many other media (film, documentaries, park specific books, etc.), whereas the little gems need to be highlighted more so they can receive the appreciation they deserve.Still, if you want to get your feet wet and see which park is worth exploring, this book hopefully, gives enough tantalizing information to make you want to learn more and as the National Parks Service slogan says, "Go Find Your Park".Not helpful for planning visits to the Parks This is a beautiful book for learning the basics about our National Parks. It is not very helpful for those who are planning trips to visit the Parks. We were hoping for itineraries, "must see" suggestions, travel tips. If you're looking for a book that educates you about the Parks, this one has beautiful pictures (of course! It's National Geographic!). If you're looking for a book to use in planning a trip to visit any of the Parks, there are other books that will fit that bill.
