Summary: Many Beautiful Photographs
Review: This guide's best feature is the beautiful photographs. They make you want to get in your car and go! Besides pictures of landscapes, there are also pictures of wildlife, and people engaged in various activities (camping, hiking, skiing, etc.). The guide covers parks in California & the Pacific, The Rocky Mountains, the Pacific Northwest, and the Southwest. Unfortunately, the entrance costs for the parks are not given; but there are park phone numbers & addresses so you can call or write at your own convenience (or expense!) This book is written for the International traveler. It contains information about US time zones, currency, passports, etc. There are some maps included, but the traveler will probably need more detailed maps if he intends to visit these locations.
