Summary: Lesser-known National Parks, a fine introduction:
Comment: Biscayne, Katmai, North Cascades, Guadelupe Mountains, Voyageurs, Theodore Roosevelt, Channel Islands: Not seven of the best-known National Parks to be sure. But each is eminently deserving of inclusion into the system of "Nation's Crown Jewels". This book shows why.

In a well-drafted, readable, interesting text, accompanied by excellent National Geographic photography, the ins and outs of each named park, including highlights, topography, natural features, climate, hazards, and accessibility are brought out in an imaginative, pleasant manner.

Each park is shown to be a microcosm of a facet of the American wilderness, and each chapter makes you want to visit that park. I have been to Theodore Roosevelt and Biscayne. both were fascinating, and this book helped whet my appetite. I was never misled.

This is a real keeper for any traveler's national park library.
Five stars.

Summary: A Great Little Guide!
Comment: This little park guide has been the best one I've found for the "not-so-well-known" parks. Some friends and I have used it quite a bit on several little trips we've taken. If you're looking for a guide to smaller, less publicized parks then this is a great one. Some of the directions could have been a bit better, but all-in-all they were pretty good (we may have just been dumb).
