Product Description:
Featuring 80 all new maps and more than 350 photos, this guide is the most comprehensive, up-to-the-minute book of its kind on the market today. A perennial favorite with almost a million copies sold in previous editions, it reflects National Geographic's century-long association with America's national parks system and its peerless reputation for travel expertise and cartographic excellence.
The book opens with an essay by Yellowstone authority Paul Schullery, and an introduction to the guide with a locator map showing all 58 of these American treasures (including the newest, South Carolina's Congree National Park). Next, the parks are presented alphabetically region-by-region, with individual maps and geographical profiles of each. These colorfully illustrated descriptions offer tours tailored to the time available, whether it's an hour or a week, and tell visitors the best spots to enjoy hikes, spectacular vistas, wildlife and more. Itineraries and directions, special activities and advisories, and suggestions of hotels and campgrounds are provided, along with scores of ideas for excursions to nearby wildlife refuges, monuments, and other nature areas of exceptional interest—140 in all.
From planning a trip to making the most of every minute, here's all the information anyone could want on the scenic national parks plus invaluable recommendations and advice from the National Geographic writers who know them well.

We went on a 2 week road trip across the country and used this book to look up national parks in the areas we were traveling to. It was fantastic!

My husband and I used this book extensively on a recent trip out west. This is an excellent guide and one that we will use again and again.

I am a traveling lover, but not professional traveler (why should I?). I do not have enough time to make deep research before each trip, and I hardly have days and nights to explore every corner of those beautiful national parks. This book gives me a good executive summary and a practical guide to arrange my itinerary. It is pretty reliable. Anyway, my purpose traveling to national parks is for pleasure, but not for making a map. :-)

This is an excellent reference and is a good guide to points of interest and gives enough information to research each National Park represented.
The book doesn't cover every Park , but those that it does it does well.
An excellent reference.
