Smart Travel Guide to 18 National Parks in the Midwest & Eastern U.S.Camping & Hiking Guide(Also Mt. Rushmore National Memorial & Three 14-Day Park Hopper Travel Plans)I have always been what you may call a "National Park junkie." I love the uniqueness, the natural wilderness and the breathtaking beauty of each of our national parks. In the last 26 years, I have visited all 59 of our national parks at least once, but I must admit that I visited 35 of them more times than I want to admit. The parks that I discussed in this series, I visited a dozen times or more. Some of them I know like I know my own 23-acre ranch that I grew up and still live in Texas.In this three-volume guide, I'll take you to all the National Parks in the United States. Each guide will walk you through the basics so you can prepare for a trip to any of the locations listed with little to no trouble whatsoever.
