Summary

Discover the natural beauty of the national parks – from snow-peaked mountains in the tundra to glistening aquamarine lagoons south of the equator.

Did you know one of the national parks is home to the longest-known cave system in the entire world?

Have you heard of the legendary creatures, like swamp monsters and white walkers, that are said to roam the grounds of a few of the parks?

Do you know which park is home to the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair Century of Progress homes?

If you want to answer all of these questions (and many more), then you have come to the right place!

Spanning more than 84 million acres, the national parks have something for everyone. Whether you want to traverse rocky mountain cliffs, see majestic wildlife like black bears and buffalo, or walk the rims of active volcanoes, any outdoor adventure is possible.

You just have to know where to go. Which is exactly where this book comes in handy.

Love this book!

If you love to travel or dream of traveling this book is for you. National parks are a great sense of wonder and enjoyment to many people. I have been to some and made great memories. For a period of time my Grandpa worked at several parks and taught about Lewis and Clark. I learned a lot from visting him with my family so I was excited to learn more. I loved that it was divided into sections of the country and not just by park. This made it easier to understand where it is located and what you will find in that area. For me I could visualize it better. You may also find that you can visit serval locations at a time by going to that region. It was fun to learn about each region and imagine yourself there. Now I have a long list of new vacation spots. I would of never found all of them if it hadnt been for this book. Its a all in one resource for our natural wonders. I cant wait to go!! You should read this and plan your own trip. Thanks for the adventures!!

Travel America With This Guide

Amazing book! This book is a great map and guide for nature lovers. It spills the beans on awesome places, from snowy mountains to tropical lagoons. I didn't even know that there's a park which has the longest cave system ever. Plus, there are stories of swamp monsters and white walkers roaming around in some parks.

This book is your VIP pass to rocky cliffs, wildlife hangouts, and even volcanoes. So if you're all about outdoor fun, then this book is for you. I highly recommend it!

Immersive Adventure Guide to America's Treasures

"Discovering America's National Parks: A Complete Guide" is an auditory masterpiece that illuminates the beauty and significance of America's natural wonders. With vivid narration and comprehensive insights, it acts as a compelling compass for park enthusiasts. The audiobook expertly intertwines history, ecology, and practical tips, guiding listeners through an enchanting journey. As a homeschool family with kids now entering elementary & middle school, my wife and I have discussed taking RV trips form our Midwest home to many of the parks discussed. This inspired me to put a spreadsheet together over the Holiday's, for possibly a 2025-26 road trip. Thanks! We are so blessed to have such breath taking national parks, get out and see them people but start by listening to this audiobook!
