America was the first country in the world to realize the concept of national parks, and it is the birthplace of the conservation movement.
The astonishing scenery created by nature over the ages, the indigenous peoples who have lived in awe of these landscapes, the wildlife that inhabits these lands, and the people who have worked hard to protect them all—this is where the true essence of America's greatness lies.
Based on the world's first national park system, established in 1872, this book introduces the wonders of the national parks and national monuments operated and managed by the National Park Service, which was established in 1916 to preserve the majestic and precious landscapes, natural beauty, historical sites, and wildlife found throughout the vast United States. It also provides information to help you travel comfortably and safely while fully enjoying the charms of these parks.
It features over 60 national parks and national monuments, including the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Arches, and Rocky Mountain.
