Summary: The Guide to National Parks of the Southwest by Nicky Leach
Review: Rarely does one find such a combination of gorgeous photographs, well written descriptions and useful information in one book. The book features 52 national parks, monuments, recreational areas, historical parks and historic sites. There are 170 color photos and a map of the southwest together with descriptions and access maps. George H.H. Huey's stunning photos include the magnificent vistas of the American Southwest, close up photographs of flowers and wildlife, accurate depictions of historical sites and much more. They portray the diversity and glorious landscapes of both famous and lesser-known gems of our the area. They bring life to the land and entice one to visit. Vickie J. Leach's descriptions give factual information of what to see at each site in a clear and concise manner. She gives useful information in an easy to read manner. I would heartily endorse this book. It is a joy to read and an excellent reference guide.
