Armchair Traveler ~ US National Parks ~ Photos
One of my favorite Armchair Traveler books contains gorgeous photos and essays about many of the incredible US National Parks. When I browse the book I remember past journeys (my favorites include Denali, Glacier, Mt Rushmore, Shenandoah and the Grand Canyon) and plan new adventures (Grand Teton, Yosemite, Crater Lake are on my list).
In addition to books and maps about various National Parks, there is a wealth of information on line: https://www.nps.gov/index.htm Remember when you plan your trip to a National Park, some are far more crowded than others and going in spring or fall is less crowded than the summer months.
Each park is very special and unique. While there are travelers whose goal is to journey to each park, there are others (like me) who prefer to return to a favorite park. I find that each time, I discover new vistas.
Be creative and have fun as you “armchair travel” using photo books, guidebooks and online sites. You could well be planning your next journey.
Take the time to put the camera away and gaze in wonder at what’s there in front of you ~ Erick Widman
One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things ~ Henry Miller
