Editorial Review: Book Description: Discover the amazing variety of our eastern national parks. In the company of National Geographic writers and photographers explore islands of preservation set amid some of the most populated areas of the United States. Meet naturalists and rangers, fishermen and fellow travelers. Journey from the fog-drenched cliffs and teeming tide pools of Acadia in Maine to the glistening saw grass of Florida's Everglades.

Dive into the crystal-clear waters of Biscayne, Virgin Islands, and Dry Tortugas, one of our newest national parks. Customer Reviews
