Book Description
The national parks may be America’s best idea, saving the finest parts of the nation for everyone to enjoy forever. What better way to learn about the natural world than to tour the parks with us? We’ll explore how the mountains and valleys formed and why they often come with volcanoes and earthquakes. You’ll see what really killed the dinosaurs and how we can help save their modern relatives in the parks. With film clips, slide shows, and our geological interpretations of classic rock songs, isn’t it time for a road trip?
