At a Glance: "Now featuring color photos and maps for each park, authors Permenter & Bigley have selected America's top 21 family-friendly national parks to help readers pick the best vacation for their family. Uncluttered and easy, this new approach to national park travel does all the work for you, with only this thought in mind: which park is best for family travel? Other new features include suggested itineraries for each park, most family-friendly hiking trails and attractions, and more Web sources for planning your trip and related sites." (Publisher's description)

Best for: This guide is for parents who want to know which of the National Parks offer the most family-friendly trails, activities, etc.

Standout Features: This guide provides a helping hand in planning a family trip to a National Park, including tips on which trails are best suited to small ones and attractions of interest. In addition to the authors' reviews of the 21 parks selected as "family-friendly", this guide also includes web resources for further information. What better way to instill a sense of environmental responsibility in children than to show them what's worth saving?

Keep in Mind: This is not a guide for all of the National Parks in the U.S., but rather the parks the authors have selected as being best suitable for families.
