Wonders of the wild
This audiobook does an excellent job capturing the beauty and diversity of the Pacific region's national parks. I especially appreciated how it balanced practical travel advice with fascinating historical context—something that really brought the parks to life in my mind. The narration was clear and engaging, which made it easy to stay immersed. What I would have liked, if anything, would be more personal accounts or insights into places not so well known. On the whole, though, it was very much like having a nice guide walking along with you. In fact, this audiobook is both useful and stimulating, especially for travelers. Undoubtedly worth listening to, then, at planning time!

Going to the Pacific NW or Hawaii? Start here!
What a wonderful book if you are planning a trip to commune with the beauty of our Western National Parks. The details provided in this book will entertain everyone, from history buffs to conservationists, outdoor sports enthusiasts, and nature lovers. There are detailed descriptions of the sites to see and enough information to plan your activities based on the activity level and interests of the entire family. The descriptions are so vivid you feel you can see them, but the in-person visit will be indescribable.
