Personal Review: National Geographic Guide to the State Parks
of the United States, 3rd Edition (National Geographics Guide to
the State Parks of the United States) by National Geographic
Society
We just purchased this book a couple of weeks ago, and we've already
visited three of the suggested state parks. The format is attractive with a
nice picture from each park, detailed information on the park, and
suggestions for other attractions in the area. It is laid out by region: "New
England," "Southwest," etc. with about five states in each region and about
4-5 parks from each state. We live in Texas, and although we think there
could be other parks mentioned in the book for our state, we agree that the
choices are representative of the variety of state parks here. We have
already visited two of the suggestions in Oklahoma (which we found has
great state parks) and one in New Mexico which was beautiful. Our goal is
to visit ALL of them over the next several years! We've always enjoyed
staying in state or national parks while camping - now in our new
AirStream trailer (yeah!), but any traveler could visit these parks as day
trips, also. Besides being informative, it's a great read.
