Distinguished by the majesty of their natural features, the pristine state of their ecosystems, the significance of their history, and the abundance and diversity of their flora and fauna, the national parks represent the very best of the natural world in the United States.

Traversing the United States from east to west, this glorious tour celebrates the awe-inspiring beauty and breathtaking splendor of all 63 national parks. Travel writer and journalist Mel White's expertly written narrative describes the most significant geological features, plants and wildlife, local landmarks and recreational activities within each national park. Featuring more than 200 images taken by some of the world's best photographers, every park is beautifully depicted and accompanied by a detailed map showing the main access routes and places of interest.

Revealing a striking diversity of wilderness in the United States, celebrated parks such as Yellowstone or Grand Canyon National Park join lesser known and more remote areas such as Kobuk Valley National Park, located above the Arctic Circle, or Haleakala National Park in Hawaii. With stunning photography, the pages of this book will open doors to understanding more about these stunning locations, inspiring travel and allowing the reader to witness the very best of the United States.
