Professional Review:
Featuring 80 all new maps and more than 350 photos, this guide is the most comprehensive, up-to-the-minute book of its kind on the market today. A perennial favorite with almost a million copies sold in previous editions, it reflects National Geographic's century-long association with America's national parks system and its peerless reputation for travel expertise and cartographic excellence.


The book opens with an essay by Yellowstone authority Paul Schullery, and an introduction to the guide with a locator map showing all 58 of these American treasures (including the newest, South Carolina's Congree National Park). Next, the parks are presented alphabetically region-by-region, with individual maps and geographical profiles of each. These colorfully illustrated descriptions offer tours tailored to the time available, whether it's an hour or a week, and tell visitors the best spots to enjoy hikes, spectacular vistas, wildlife and more. Itineraries and directions, special activities and advisories, and suggestions of hotels and campgrounds are provided, along with scores of ideas for excursions to nearby wildlife refuges, monuments, and other nature areas of exceptional interest—140 in all.


From planning a trip to making the most of every minute, here's all the information anyone could want on the scenic national parks plus invaluable recommendations and advice from the National Geographic writers who know them well.

   Summary: Good Overview of the Parks
This book is a great overview of all the National Parks. It provides maps, descriptions, hours, lodging, and excursion information. I have taken it to three of the parks already this year - it even got us through Death Valley!!

   Summary: Useful Introduction to the parks
The National Geographic Guide to the National Parks of the United States provides a basic and useful introduction to the parks. The maps, photographs, descriptions, and information about the area surrounding each park have helped us launch many memorable explorations. Suggestions regarding activities in each park are framed with consideration for both the automobile tourist and the hiker. The two copies of the Guide I recently purchased were for our niece and nephew who are just starting to travel with their young families.

   Summary: This book is a very good National Park planner
This guide is a must have when planning to visit any National Park. It provides "must see places" as well as popular hiking trials. Important information such as directions, when to visit, how to visit, places to stay, and descriptions are very well written.
