Oswald opens with snapshot profiles of the 63 parks and includes regional maps of the United States so you can gain some perspective of where parks are in relation to major cities and even other parks.
The Dayhiker’s Guide To The National Parks
Author Mike Oswald’s latest endeavor tackles 280 trails in the 63 "national parks" within the National Park System. As he points out on the back cover of the guide, "There are more than 10,000 miles of trails in the U.S. National Parks. Choosing the best ones can be a challenge."

National parks make obvious topics for books, and those books generally tend to be either coffee-table-sized photo books or smaller guides to the parks. Crater Lake & Beyond is something of a hybrid, being a large-format guide that shows off the landscape in full color while weaving natural and human history between the photographs.
