Book Description

Series: Start & Run a Business S. | Publication Date: November 1, 2005

Award-winning photographer David Muench captures the well-visited park icons that millions of Americans love and cherish as well as the lesser-known and seldom seen wilderness areas of the park?the untouched gems where few traveler's venture. Ruth Rudner's moving essay coupled with Muench's visual celebration of these great lands, brings to life everything from the Great Smokies to the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, to Bryce Canyon and hundreds of other unique images.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful photos, March 23, 2006

photoman "stan" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Our National Parks (Hardcover)

After seeing these photos, I'm further inspired to visit all the national parks!
The essays were unnecessary and took space away from additional photos.

This review is from: Our National Parks (Hardcover)

What a beautiful book! Covering all of our nation's National Parks, David Muench's photography is incredible. From the Great Sand Dunes to Canyonlands, from Carlsbad to Glacier, he's captured our nation's most beautiful land. Great quality book--I immediately wanted to hike up a mountain.
