A new guide book by the leading travel media company
Lonely Planet has been released to commemorate the National Park Service’scentennial. USA’s National Parks is an
ambitious book, covering all 59 of the designated national parks as well as
special features such as presidential memorials, other protected spots like
national seashores, monuments, and recreational area.
With such a lengthy itinerary, the book hits the highlights
of each park such as size, entrance fees, and the types of people that the park
would appeal to. It provides an overview of top experiences and scenic
destinations that visitors should not miss.
General information about where to stay and eat,
best hiking trails and drives, of-the-path secrets, and nearby attractions are
also packed into this handy 5 x 7.5 inch book. Hundreds of full color photos,
many full-page, help readers visualize landscapes and available activities in
each location. A pull-out map pinpoints location of each park, so you can see
if several are close enough to visit in one vacation.
Plan the perfect destination using the book’s
information regarding best parks for hiking, wildlife watching, amazing adventures,
families, scenery, and winter time. Check out the list of top 10 experiences and
tips on the best times to visit.
A section that includes history, conservation,
wildlife, and geology provides need-to-know background that allows visitors to
more fully appreciate America’s national parks.
In addition to the general guidebook, Lonely Planet
has published five updated guidebooks that include 11 of the most popular
national parks in North America. Comprehensive coverage and practical information
for exploring each park (such as clothing and equipment for hiking, best
drives, and cycling tours) are also included in these full-color, detailed
editions.
