If you like to stay in National Parks, this is the book for you. It provides all the detail needed to weigh all your options for lodging in our National Parks (price, location, views, room options, restaurants). In some cases it even gives recommendations for certain rooms because of the view or the size of the room.

Even if you never thought about staying at a National Park Lodge get this book. There are some wonderful places to stay and staying in the park, even if it costs a little more, adds so much to the total park experience.

I will not be without this book when I travel. I just wish the authors would write a similar book for State Parks.

As a frequent visitor to the national parks, I found the information in this book to be accurate and useful. We had stayed in several of the lodges mentioned in the book but found out about some places we never knew existed. The lodge in North Cascades is one of our favorites. I recommend this book to both experienced and novice travelers.

We used this guide to plan our summer trip to the national parks. It helped us decide on which lodges to choose and what rooms to ask for. What a jewel of a book!

This book is as good as taking a guided tour. It gives you all the information you would ever want concerning lodges in National Parks. Its easy to read with information masterfully presented. I would strongly recommend that anyone taking a trip across the USA ensure that they include a copy of "National Park Lodges" in their suitcase. Exploring National Parks, using this book as a reference, will make a truly fascinating vacation.

This summer we enjoyed our first stays in some of the national park lodges. Not knowing much about the lodges prior to the trip, we located this guide in a bookstore in a nearby town. It provided enough information that we were able to make good choices on which lodges to choose in each park we visited. In particular, we were having difficulty picking lodges in both Yellowstone and Glacier. Both parks have several lodges and we didn't know much about any lodge other than Old Faithful Inn until reading the information in this book. We found the information accurate and helpful.

What national park consists of 105 miles of scenic roadways plus 500 miles of bike trails throughout the park? (The Shenandoah National Park encompasses 195,000 acres of verdant mountains in Luray, Virginia, 60 miles west of Washington, D.C.) Lodging at Shenandoah National Park is available at Big Meadows, Lewis Mountain Cabins, and Skyline Lodge. Such nuggets of information can be found within the pages of The Complete Guide to National Park Lodges, the ultimate in travel handbooks. Furthermore, decisions about selecting the ideal vacation spot in America's national park lodges are now expedited. Veteran national park authors, David and Kay Scott, have compiled an outstanding tourist guidebook. Systematically organized state by state and national park by national park, the handbook contains valuable information about each park lodge, followed by a brief synopsis relevant to rates, rooms, and reservations. Facilities and amenities, drawings and maps, local and descriptive data are also included for each entry. Shopping for the perfect vacation in the national park regions has never been easier! Which national park lodge "possesses" a room that has gained the reputation as - HAUNTED? (Room 199 at the Furnace Creek Inn at Death Valley National Park is reputed to have been visited by ghosts! This room is so popular that advanced reservations are required!) Check it out!

For shame, for shame! How could anyone put out a book full of maps and not have a mileage legend on ANY of them??? Other than that gross oversight, it's very informative.
