This gift treasury collection gathers real-life stories from parks across the USA, including Great Smoky Mountains, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Hawaii Volcanoes, Denali, Everglades, and many, many more.

Some tell human tales of triumph, bravery, and feats of endurance and moments of dazzling discovery.

Others are tales of remarkable animals, magnificent plants, outstanding natural features.

Some explore the past, telling how certain parks came to be and their impacts both good and bad, while others recount recent events such as inspiring stories of conservation and nature and communities bouncing back.
