This review is from: USA National Parks West (Insight Guides) (Paperback)
I love all the Discovery Channel Insight books! I take them on all my trips. Pictures are beautiful and the maps are very helpful. Great overall guide - even make good coffee table books. Wish there were more updated ones. I think this one will be updated next year - but will be by a different author.
