Five Stars Thank you.Well made and easy to navigate. I got this for my son for his cross country trip for his "gap year". He has found it very useful and sturdy. It is well put together and easy to navigate.Disappointing This review is going to echo all the other disappointed buyers of this book. I’m sure we were all influenced by the National Geographic name. I was hoping for information on more parks but the book limits itself to a 3-page narrative on 4 parks, with an occasional 5th park for some states. After the featured parks, there is a brief paragraph on other state parks in that state but it’s limited to 15 parks.The book groups states by geographical region; New England, Middle Atlantic, South East, etc. The beginning of each section shows the map of the region’s states and locations of the featured parks, but not the locations of any other parks. I would have preferred a single state map heading each state’s section with all state parks located. I understand there are size constraints and all parks can’t be given a big spread but I was hoping to see description of more parks. Maybe a one page rather than 3 pages so more parks could be included.For state parks I’m familiar with, the ‘featured parks’ are the most popular in the state. In other words, the most crowded parks. Any photos they show could not have been taken by a casual visitor because 100 people would have been around getting in the way of your photo. I want to know more about the out of the way parks that have interesting features that don’t get the press because they may be out of the way.I do like the size of the book. It’s a good size to carry around when I travel. I do like that some parks have a map. I wish each state had fee information printed. Not the actual price because that changes annually, but in looking at websites for each state, not all are clear about what fees are charged. Some have entry fees. Some have different fees for state residents and higher fees for out of state visitors. For some state websites I can’t find any fee information at all.
