Quote:🌞 Find out about the history of all 63 US National Parks, and discover their countless treasures
Eyewitness National Parks is a spectacular illustrated guide to America's very popular National Parks, which span nearly 85 million acres, or about 3.5 percent of the country's land. This book for 9-12 year old explorers helps you visit each one-from the icy windswept ranges of Wrangell-St. Elias in Alaska to the sandy plains of Death Valley, the coral reefs of American Samoa, and the vast mangroves of the Everglades. Marvel at landmarks such as the Colorado River winding down the Grand Canyon or Old Faithful spraying steam in Yellowstone, and much more-every park is incredible and unique, with its own history, natural wonders, animals, plants, and places.
Part of DK's best-selling Eyewitness series , which is now getting an exciting makeover, this title is meant for the next generation of information-seekers and stay-at-home explorers, with a fresh look, striking photographs, updated information, and a new "eyewitness" feature-fascinating first-hand accounts from experts in the field.
