Title: Fantastic guide, saves lots of time in planning.
Review: I've been planning trips to the western Nationa Parks for months, but find the resouces on the NPS to be rather difficult to use. I also used Google Maps, but that is arduous and time consuming.This guide makes it easy to find campgrounds, trails and scenic drives at every National Park that I intend to visit. I also does a great job of highlighting the best times of the year to visit, along with other attractions.

Title: Wonderful book!
Review: This is a beautifully done book! All the gorgeous color pictures entice you to want to leave right now for any national park! Has lots of good information…and that’s based on the descriptions of the parks I’ve been to so I know what they are talking about. As always, you are still left wanting a bit more information (hence 4 stars), but really this is a great book and I would recommend it even though there are now 63 designated NPs. Don’t worry about that, just get this one until the count gets higher (like 65+ parks).

Title: Get this book if you plan to visit National Parks
Review: This book is wonderful if you are planning a trip to any National Park. Not only does this book give you the best spots to visit/hike/site see, but it also gives you a list of places to stay in the park and how much it costs. It also gives you places restaurants to eat at and a list of activities you can do while in the park. I highly recommend this book!

Review: netter Überblick über die NP. Eigentlich braucht man das heute nicht mehr, wenn man Zugang zum Internet hat.Dennoch als Anreiz, mehr zu lesen und zu recherchieren, nicht schlecht.
