The US National Parks series from Frommer’s covers a range of guides dedicated to exploring America’s national parks on foot and by car. Presented in a handy, pocket-sized format, the aim of each guide is to provide an introduction to some of the country’s most-visited and attractive parks; recommending hikes, walks and drives in the region.

An introductory section profiles the destination, with information on the history of the park and current park projects. Further sections give pre-trip planning advice, with guidance on when to go (including weather and avoiding the crowds and what to pack for different times of year. There is also information on getting there and around, safety, travellers with disabilities, sustainable tourism and keeping in contact with home.

Each of Frommer’s National Park guides is presented in a similar format, allowing readers to locate the relevant section easily. Each chapter describes either a drive or trail through the park and includes an overview of the route, what to see and do, getting there and around, camping, contact details, where to eat and accommodation, organised by price. There are also basic overview sketch maps showing the general route.
