I love the national parks! This book is a beautiful guide. It is divided into regional sections. Each park page includes photos, basic park info, and wonderful additional information that is both interesting and helpful. The photos included are stunning! It makes me want to plan a trip to see as many parks as I can. In the meantime, I am so happy to have received an ecopy of this book to check out.

National Parks Uncovered by Linda Mohammad is an essential guide for nature enthusiasts and park lovers. The book provides in-depth insights into America's national parks, highlighting their unique features, history, and hidden secrets.

Excellent book covering every National Park. This book is full of beautiful color photographs of each of the national parks. There are also vintage drawings like the cover. The information is informative and additional stories help add context. I didn’t know the youngest person to visit all the park’s was only 3 years old. I love visiting national parks with my annual pass and still have many more to visit. This book is a great overview but you would need to visit the NPS website or other travel guides for more detailed information on trails, camping or sights to visit.

Beautiful photography, vintage style illustrations and pertinent information about the plethora of national parks and monuments in the United States. Great for traveling in person or via armchair
Luke B, Librarian
This was an excellent guide and our library will definitely purchase this one! The stories helped add more context for the data and facts. A good balance of both.

One of my family members has a birthday coming up and loves traveling to National Parks, so when I saw this book available for review I thought it could be right up his alley and worth getting a peek at before purchasing for him...
<b>This. Book. Is. Breathtaking.</b>
I couldn't ask for a more logical separation of parks, into Pacific NW and Alaska, Western, Rocky Mountains (understandably gets their own section), Southwest, Midwest, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and North Atlantic. Within each park's section, there's always an infographic with date established, location, size in square miles, visitation number, land acknowledgement and the corresponding .gov landing page.
I would recommend this to anyone who is
1) Purposely seeking out National Park info for any reason
2) Planning a trip to multiple National Parks
3) Interested in the photography, that alone earns this the Coffee Table Book title
{Thank you bunches to NetGalley, Linda Mohammad and publisher for this eARC in exchange for my honest review!}

My family and I recently went to the Grand Canyon for the first time and it sparked an interest in the rest of the National Parks. We purchased an annual pass a d have a few other parks on our list to visit this year. This book is a beautiful guide for those park visits. Tips and details to help you plan your trips. Gorgeous photos of the parks throughout. Easy to read for the whole family.

Having just visited some wonderful National Parks in the USA we are now planning another trip over to explore more. And what great timing. This book gives you all the information you need to get going and explore the wonderful outdoors.
The layout is perfect with the information you need and some wonderful photos to get you excited. I can't wait to head back over and explore more.
Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – becker & mayer! for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.
