Overview

Straightforward and easy to use, here are firsthand, field-tested recommendations on what to see and how to organize and embark on a park trip. Acclaimed National Geographic writers introduce readers to all fifty-five U.S. national parks, conducting dozens of tours tailored to suit the needs of even the most ambitious sightseers.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Explore America's stunning national parks with National Geographic's definitive guide. Organized by region, National Geographic's Guide to the National Parks of the United States offers travelers a comprehensive resource to the 55 scenic national parks, complete with detailed maps, recommendations for lodging, and the beautiful photographs that have become National Geographic's trademark. Each section provides costs, safety tips, advice on when to visit the park, and wildlife highlights. Whether you're interested in the famous parks like the Great Smoky Mountains, Yosemite, Yellowstone, and the Everglades, or you want to visit the newer additions to the parks register, such as Saguaro, this guide is the only one you'll need.
Library Journal
These National Geographic Society offerings promise to be popular items with anyone interested in going beyond just being a tourist and becoming an informed visitor to national parks and historic areas of the United States. They present a state-by-state listing of those sites deemed to be of historic importance in the development of the country, ranging from Revolutionary War battlefields in the Middle Atlantic states to remnants of the Gold Rush in the West. This is a significant series for teachers, parents, and anyone seeking to bring alive the story of our country for young people. Each site is identified by simple directions on how to reach it, whether or not submission fees are charged, and addresses and phone numbers. In addition, most sites list additional areas of scenic and/or historic value in the immediate vicinity. There are four volumes in the "Driving Guides to America" series; the one reviewed here lists tours of interest in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado. Each tour is preceded by a detailed map, the best time of the year to visit, the number of days recommended for the trip, and important phone numbers to call for additional information. The following tour descriptions are richly illustrated and include sidebars that help visitors truly appreciate the area. The national parks of America receive a respectful treatment at the hands of the National Geographic Society. These revised editions present all 54 parks in detail and offer visitors a wealth of information: when the park was created, how big it is, how to get there, the best time to visit, and suggested itineraries. Along with the well-known parks, there are listings for some that are either new or seldom visited; this is the best information available on parks such as Dry Tortugas, Saguaro, American Samoa, Joshua Tree, and Kobuk Valley. Each of these books is enthusiastically recommended for all public libraries.Joseph L. Carlson, Vandenberg Air Force Base Lib., Cal.

    Don't Leave Home Without It

    I wouldn't dream of planning a trip to a National Park without this guide. It is a beautiful book, small, and has more information in it than all my other National Park books combined. If you can only have one book as a guide, this is the ONE. It tells you places to stay with phone numbers, it gives approximate prices. There are things to do for a short visit and things to do on a longer stay. I am retiring soon, and this is the book (along with the companion State Park guide and Scenic Routes guide) that is coming with me on my motorhome trips.
