Makes me want to take a road trip.
I imagine that iconic 1950s scene of the nuclear family of four packing up the station wagon, hefty camping gear and fishing poles loaded in the back, ready to hit the highway. While the saying goes There is nothing more American than apple pie, I beg to differ. There is something more American: taking advantage of the great beauties of our own backyard, our National Parks.
Yellowstone National Park, circa 1956
The book lists numerous US National Parks: Crater Lake, Oregon; Glacier, Montana (Glacier is even celebrating its centennial this year: http://www.glaciercentennial.org/); Mt McKinley/Denali, Alaska; Glacier Bay, Alaska; The Grand Canyon, Arizona; and the list goes on.
What's your favorite National Park?
