This wholly original look at our parks breathes much needed new life into the genre of landscape and outdoor photography. Even seasoned park visitors will find this new take on our national treasures visually exhilarating. For anyone seeking a direct window into the very best of America, the wild, the whimsical, and the awe-inspiring, look no further than this book.

Ian Shive is one of the most talented landscape photographers out there. This book abounds with amazing imagery, capturing the national parks in a way I have never seen before. It is a terrific addition to any aspiring photographers collection, and a great coffee table book for the casual admirer. A must have for anyone with an interest in the national parks.

This is a stunning book, which I have gifted to four people so far -- my dad and three friends. All of them loved it. As a person who appreciates photography, I can only wonder how Ian Shive is able to capture such amazing images. We treasure our copy and have it on our table to share with friends who come to visit.
