This is a comprehensive guide to every site and swath of landscape in the US National Park system, from coast-to-coast and world famous National Parks to lesser known sites of historical or natural significance. The premier parks are described in detail, but equal attention is given to the national monuments, memorials, preserves, historic sites, battlefields, cemeteries and seashores, not to mention a network of 'National Trails' and the intriguingly referred to 'Affiliated Areas'. From Yellowstone to the Statue of Liberty, from the hallowed ground of Gettysburg National Military Park to the Pacific waters shrouding Hawaii's U.S.S. Arizona Memorial, this guide spans American history and landscape, with practical advice on how to reach each park, when to go and what to do there.
