Getting the utmost out of your park visit is the idea behind “Your Guide to the National Parks” (Stone Road Press, 2022) by intrepid explorer Mike Oswald. The beautiful bucket list book, packed with 724 pages of exhaustively researched and well-presented information for park enthusiasts of all types, is both an outstanding planning resource and good travel companion. Wisconsin-based Oswald found his inspiration for developing his book while visiting Acadia National Park. His primary tool for park exploring at the time was National Geographic’s “Guide to National Parks of the United States.” “It’s a fine book,” he noted, “but it doesn’t go too far off the road, and that’s where most of the fun begins.” ~ Carey Kish
