From glaciers to sand dunes, from snowy mountains to sunny beaches, America’s national parks hold many of our country’s most iconic landscapes.
The very first national park, Yellowstone, was created for "the benefit and enjoyment of the people."
Travel writer Mike Oswald has hiked, biked and paddled through them all.
He’s trekked thousands of miles during hundreds of visits and distilled what he’s learned into his book Your Guide to the National Parks.
He’s also put together the book Park Maps: An Atlas of the United States National Parks.
