A quick snapshot of what are the most important things to see in the most popular/most visited national parks. If you want a more in-depth exploration of the parks, this book is not for you. Most of the parks are just given a 2-page spread with some of the more popular getting 4 pages. This is the kind of book for the person who says, "I'm going to be in Yellowstone for one day, what do I absolutely have to see." If that's what you're looking for, this may be a helpful book for you. There are no photographs, which is unfortunate.

I found this in my local library, and I was pleased at this resource! Not only was it super helpful and up-to-date in terms of reliable information, but I loved how it contained information about additional National Parks across the US! I used it to plan my next bucket-list trips!!!

How do you rate a travel book so poorly? Well, I wanted photos. There are no photos to reference anything they suggest visiting. And then the information given was so minimal. Simple might work for others, but didn’t for me.
