The book features contributions from NPCA President Tom Kiernan and the staff of National Parks magazine, and a percentage of the proceeds will go toward NPCA’s crucial work, which we couldn’t accomplish without you. (Read on for a special discount offer, too.) The iconic landscapes are all here: Arches and the Grand Canyon, Glacier and Zion, Yellowstone and Yosemite. So, too, are the sights that many of us overlook: the pure white gypsum of White Sand Dunes, a jellyfish floating in the Channel Islands, a tarantula and a scorpion underfoot in Big Bend. It’s a great gift for any park lover you know, and it’s not a bad way to pick your next vacation spot, either.
