From the Publisher
More than 65 million people visit the national parks annually--and
overcrowding has become a serious problem. So We sent our authors out
to hit the trails and campsites to figure out how to beat the crowds
and enjoy an unspoiled experience of nature.
Our authors take readers to the most spectacular landscapes in the
western U.S. and provide advice for every kind of park visitor, from
the day-tripper who wants to see the highlights quickly to the
back-country camper to families traveling with kids. This incredibly
detailed, complete guide covers every kind of activity available in
each park, from hiking to bird watching, with a range of sport for
visitors of all ages and skill levels. --This text refers to an out of
print or unavailable edition of this title.
