Synopsis
Where can you spot puffins and stand atop the highest peak along the Atlantic coast? Which park is home to the driest, lowest, and hottest landscape in America? And what would it be like if you could explore all 63 national parks in one epic adventure? That's exactly what our young adventurer set out to do - packing up an old camper van and hitting the road, traveling from Acadia to the Everglades, Death Valley to Yosemite, Hawaii Volcanoes to Alaska's Denali, and every other park in between. Inspired by a true story, The Nature of Our National Parks shares detailed insights into each park's unique flora, fauna, and geological formations, alongside kid-friendly hikes and insider tips that make every destination exciting and accessible for families. Celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States' founding with this beautifully illustrated and comprehensive book that inspires readers of all ages to explore, learn about, and connect with America's national parks, complete with maps, trip recommendations, and hundreds of fun facts about the fascinating species found across our country.
