100 Parks, 5,000 Ideas: Where to Go, When to Go, What to See, What to Do

A great book! We are trying to visit as many parks as we possibly can and this is a great resource. The added bonus is the amazing photography, just wow! This would make a great gift for that traveling friend or family member.

Great book for ideas to do at parks.

This excellent little guide is a overview of the United States plethora of national parks, state parks, historical sites and more (including beautiful Canada!) in an impressive and perfectly sized book. The many incredible photos and good amount of information will definitely inspire a trip to a bucket list location, or even a nice road trip as well. Very nice presentation with plenty to offer. This would also make an ideal gift.

Gave as a gift. They loved it

The book is unquestionably beautiful. And it does contain ideas for what to do at each park.But... With about 4 pages per park, 2 pages are taken up by photos. So if there are on average 50 ideas per park, each idea is merely a word or phase of the thing to see or do. No details as to how to get there, no insider tips, just a series of recommended highlights highlighted in bold, and perhaps a fact or two about it to whet your interest.Of course, each park itself could have a whole book written about it (and most have) and toting 100 such books around on an extended trip is not something that most people would want to do. So this book is a good starting point for planning / getting excited about seeing all the wonderful Parks in the US and Canada.

I am ready to do some traveling and check out some of these great locations. Nice variety, description and visuals.

My 9 yr old gson went to the Imax in Branson one day with summer school and watched a movie about national parks. He has been amazed by all the national parks so I got him this book. He loves it, and so do I. I kept it for a few days to read before I gave it to him. Get the spiral edition, it is so worth it. Enjoy

This book was exactly what we needed for our cross country trip! It gave us great tips, and insight on different things we would not have known about. Reasonably priced for book lovers!
