These popular, low-priced guides—the definitive companion for road trippers—offer drivers side-by-side map and text commentary on the scenery, wildlife, geology, and history of the most spectacular and popular parks. The series offers travelers user-friendly guides that follow the major roads within Yellowstone and Grand Teton, Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountain, and Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks.
Perfect for the motoring traveler, the National Park Road Guides offer topographical maps that point out where to look for wildlife, scenic vistas, geological formations, historical sites, and wildflowers. The books' design eliminates a major frustration of other road guides—having to count odometer mileage and flip back and forth between maps and text. Here the text and maps are contiguous, making the parks easy to explore. Furthermore, the maps are plainly coded with important roadside points, such as visitor centers, ranger stations, trails, restrooms, gasoline stops, and much more.
