Hiking America's National Park

2023–24 Lowell Thomas Travel Award Winner for Best Travel Guidebook

Hiking America’s National Parks is a photo-rich, information-packed guide that invites both hikers and armchair explorers to discover the best of our national parks. With awe-inspiring sites tucked just beyond the trailhead, even a short walk can lead to breathtaking views.

This collection features hikes for every skill level. Whether you’re looking for a half-mile boardwalk loop or a strenuous multiday trek, you’ll find something here. Each hike is carefully selected to showcase the highlights of the park it calls home. As a result, you’ll experience landscapes ranging from waterfalls and wildflower meadows to canyons, glaciers, deserts, and coastlines.

Moreover, each trail is paired with spectacular photography that brings the journey to life. In many cases, you’ll be introduced to areas most visitors never reach. These pages will spark ideas for your next adventure and encourage you to explore more deeply.

Importantly, Hiking America’s National Parks reminds us that there are more trails than anyone can walk in a lifetime. Still, with this guide in hand, you’ll know exactly where to begin.
