The national parks of the Pacific Southwest and Hawaii combine an unparalleled grace and nobility with qualities of otherworldliness and fantasy. This book provides a tantalizing invitation to eight parks: from the primeval Sequoia and Redwood and the legendary Yosemite to the primitive wilderness areas of Kings Canyon and Lassen Volcanic, down the California coast to the Channel Islands and across the Pacific to Haleakala, and on to the moonscape of the Hawaii volcanoes. This volume features 180 color photographs; 13 maps which include access and trail maps; facility charts for each park, providing addresses, phone numbers, hours, services for the disabled; trails charts indicating length, ascent, degree of difficulty, and where to go to get away from crowds; an Appendix identifying 75 animals and plants commonly found in the parks, with full-color photographs. This description may be from another edition of this product.
