What Makes It Uncommon

Parkipedia

Don't let your eyes deceive you—this is no ordinary book. It's a key to unlock the geological, botanical, and wildlife secrets of US National Parks. With full-color illustrations and insider tips on 60 locales, this nature lover's companion guide transforms park visits into interactive expeditions. Come face to face with otherworldly-looking creatures in Yellowstone and find out why Joshua Tree "Teddy Bears" are not the hugging type. From microscopic details to binocular-worthy wonders, each chapter helps you explore the incredible and sometimes bizarre scientific highlights throughout the Pacific Northwest, California, the Intermountain West, the Midwest, the East, the Islands, and Alaska. Printed in China.

Very cool book

The book is very interesting and well written for a state park enthusiast. The first one came damaged a bit so I'd recommend a box instead of a padded envelope to reduce damage. The seller quickly replaced it though so all good on our end.

Verified reply from Leslie

Hi there! This book only contains National Parks. Because Valley Forge is a National *Historical* Park, it's not included on the list.
