5.0 out of 5 stars
A Great Travel Reference,
By
This review is from: Fodor's Official Guide to America's National Parks, 12th Edition (Special-Interest Titles) (Paperback)
I brought this book with me on a cross-country camping trip and it was extrememly useful. Each park has detailed information on Fees, What To Do, Lodging/Camping, and Hints and Tips. It was a great reference for basic knowledge about the National Parks. It doesn't have overly detailed information (each park has roughly a page to a page and a half), but it did help us decide whether or not we should check out each park. For more detailed information about each park, we simply asked the helpful rangers at each National Park.

Great Info,
By Andrew Parker (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fodor's Official Guide to America's National Parks, 12th Edition (Special-Interest Titles) (Paperback)
this book is great. I own the national parks passport and the national parks pass. This is a great companion. Basicly it has info on every place that the NPS owns and runs. Each park has about two pages. The sections are: overview, what to see and do, food lodging and supplies, fees, hours, and regulations, how to get there, and contacts. There isn't a whole lot of info on each park, but it covers the whole country( and US territories). For more info on the parks you can go to nps. and after the dot type gov or go to nationalparks. and after the dot type org , they are both very helpful and informative websites.

disappointing,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fodor's Official Guide to America's National Parks, 12th Edition (Special-Interest Titles) (Paperback)
Maybe I had invalid expectations. This book is a thumbnail - at most - of each National Park. Virtually no photos, no in depth discussions of what to do and see, just the very basic facts. If this is what you need this book delivers, but if you are needing more detail, descriptions, and illustrations, keep shopping.
