Product Details
Web ID: 15415955This will get you to the best places!!
If you like ticking off top must-see places in U.S. national parks, this book can guide your quest. It may even send you to some outstanding places you didn’t have on your list! Stefanie Payne’s recommendations are more than just places to hop out of the car to snap a photo. She includes soft adventures to sink into for a couple hours such as touring scenic mountain roads, watching wildlife, and touring underground caves. But the mix also lists some top hikes, nature trail strolls to strenuous ascents. Payne covers at least one must-see sight or experience from each of the 63 national parks. But for some parks, such as Yosemite, Katmai, Great Smoky Mountains, and Bryce, she recommends two top things. Each of the 100 things gives readers a two-page perspective on the experience, starting with a description of what you can expect. A short sidebar provides unique tidbits or background, and the Park Snapshot gives a broader picture of what the national park offers as a whole. Details about the location, when to go, and how to get there appear in a highlighted column. With such impressive experiences, the only thing missing is an inspirational photo, but her details will get you to the photo-worthy locations for you to nab the epic pics yourself. Payne’s book could be a fun checklist book for families touring the national parks. And it would certainly pair well as a companion with her other book, The National Park Journal: Plan and Record Your Trips to the U.S. National Parks. Toss it in the car for the next national park road trip!
