From the Publisher:

Just in time for travelers planning summer vacations, Frommers unveils a completely updated new edition of its comprehensive guide to 40 of Americas national parks and monuments, including perennial favorites such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, and more.

More than 65 million people visit the national parks annuallyand overcrowding has become a serious problem. So we sent our authors out to hit the trails and campsites to figure out how to beat the crowds and enjoy an unspoiled experience of nature.

Our authors take readers to the most spectacular landscapes in the western U.S. and provide advice for every kind of park visitor, from the day-tripper who wants to see the highlights quickly to the back-country camper to families traveling with kids. This incredibly detailed, complete guide covers every kind of activity available in each park, from hiking to bird watching, with a range of sports for visitors of all ages and skill levels.

It also includes reviews of park lodges, camping, and nearby accommodations to help readers plan all aspects of their trip. Exact prices are listed for every establishment and activity. No other guide offers such detailed, candid reviews. . . or such honest advice.

Complete with maps of every park (including detailed maps of hiking trails in the major parks), plus a stunning 16-page full-color photo insert!
