- Summary:
- One of America's greatest treasures is the diverse beauty that nature has bestowed upon its landscape. This book is about seeing and enjoying nature at its most inspiring, its most unusual, and its most powerful. It assumes you will be visiting the parks by car, which eliminates some highly inaccessible locations that are generally limited to 'adventure' touring. The primary goal of this book is to show how to make the most out of your time in the park, detailing those highlights that should not be missed.
