Subpar Parks: America's Most Extraordinary National Parks and Their Least Impressed Visitors
Subpar Parks America's Most Extraordinary National Parks and Their Least Impressed Visitors Author:Amber Share Featuring 13 new parks (Craters of the Moon, Muir Woods, Devils Tower, Glen Canyon, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Cape Cod, Assateague Island, Tallgrass Prairie, Harpers Ferry, the Lincoln Memorial, the Statue of Liberty, Cape Hatteras, Rock Creek Park, and the Blue Ridge Parkway!), plus the 63 scenic parks, and tons of park facts, history, and even tips... more » and stories from park rangers!
Based on the wildly popular Instagram account, Subpar Parks features both the greatest hits and brand-new content, all celebrating the incredible beauty and variety of America's national parks juxtaposed with the clueless and hilarious one-star reviews posted by visitors.
Subpar Parks, both on the popular Instagram page and in this humorous, informative, and collectible book, combines two things that seem like they might not work together yet somehow harmonize perfectly: beautiful illustrations and informative, amusing text celebrating each national park paired with the one-star reviews disappointed tourists have left online. Millions of visitors each year enjoy Glacier National Park, but for one visitor, it was simply Too cold for me! Another saw the mind-boggling vistas of Bryce Canyon as Too spiky! Never mind the person who visited the thermal pools at Yellowstone National Park and left thinking, "Save yourself some money, boil some water at home."
Featuring more than 50 percent new material, the book will include more depth and insight into the most popular parks, such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Acadia National Parks; anecdotes and tips from rangers; and much more about author Amber Share's personal love and connection to the outdoors.« less
