2012 Motto – “Get Outdoors!”
by admin on Jun.13, 2012, under Favorites, Real Estate
I’m fortunate to live in a rural area on some acreage and have plenty to see and do outdoors this summer. Others will have a work a bit harder to take advantage of the beauty the US has to offer. Fortunately, National Geographic makes it much easier with guides and maps to State and National Parks. Here are a few of my favorites…
This National Geographic Guide to National Parks of the U.S., 7th Edition is the most current, handy, practical guide, completely updated for the 2012 edition, offering comprehensive information on the crown jewels of the national park system.
Price: $26.00
The 10 Best of Everything National Parks guide covers “classic” parks, national historical parks, national monuments, national battlefields, national scenic trails, and beyond. Hundreds of Top 10 lists highlight every park’s best attractions—best lodges, best hikes, best star-gazing spots, best campfire meal spots. Destinations are covered by region, theme, season, and occasion.
Price: $21.95
National Geographic Complete National Parks of the U.S.
One of the most comprehensive offerings from National Geographic…
This extensive travel planner covers not just the 58 official National Parks but also the nearly 350 additional properties in the Park Service’s domain. 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 even 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 catalog spans American history and territory both, with practical advice on how to reach each park, when to go, and what to do there.
Price: $40
