A trip to the USA without visiting a national park is almost unimaginable - whether it's the Everglades, the Grand Canyon, or Yellowstone, the names of the parks are as well-known as those of the major cities. This book showcases stunning images from all the major national parks as well as unique smaller parks and national monuments that are still waiting to be discovered. It is the magnificent nature that continually captivates: the wildlife of the vast swamps in the east, the breathtaking mountain ranges of the Rocky Mountains, or the deserts in the southwest offer a variety of impressions that are hard to surpass. Photographer and America specialist Christian Heeb has traveled the country for years and has visited the individual national parks multiple times. For this book, he has compiled his best images. Author Walter Herdrich provides a comprehensive overview of the individual parks.
