I own and overused the previous edition. I have anxiously awaited an update and am delighted with the result. I have traveled to over 200 National Parks, Monuments, Battlefields, Historic Sites, etc. and use this book to make that possible. It has excellent directions, commentaries and ideas. Some of these gems are like looking for buried treasure and hard to locate. I wouldn't be without it!!

If you want the most up-to-date guide to America's National Parks you must buy this book. Every land area under NPS jurisdiction is organized in alphabetical order and painstakingly reviewed. There are 391 sites listed each with detailed information every traveler needs. I keep it in my backpack for ready reference. DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!

Our National Park system is extensive, and it's not just the biggies like Yellowstone and Yosemite. This guide covers the breadth of the parks so you won't miss anything as you plan a trip. Moreover, this may be the only complete guide, in compact form, to the Park system.

I rely on this book when planning to visit a National Parks Site and it gives me good ideas of what to do and about how much time it takes to visit some of the places. I also use the National Parks Service website (nps.gov) and found that this book compliments the website quite well.

This is the bible of National Parks!! I tell everyone I meet at NPs about it! It has lists of parks in each state, where they are, how to get there, hours, what's at each park and even phone numbers!! Not to be confused with the lovely National Geographis Guide to National Parks. I ordered mine through Amazon and saved $$$.
Love this book!!

This book is a must have for anyone who enjoys visiting the National Parks. It gives you excellent information on each park, the things you can do there, and contact information.

All the information in this book is available at each park's website. It easily obtained and probably more current.
