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.
