NATIONAL PARKS OF THE WEST

Published by Lane Magazine & Book Co.
Menio Park, California

Perhaps the reader should start with this publication and he will be compelled to go camping. Not only is this a most beautiful collection of the scenic marvels of our National Parks but in very readable fashion, presents maps showing location, with excellent sketches showing varieties of plant life, causes of rainfall, and the causes of the formation of mountains and canyons.

Photographs of ranges, forests and lakes are only the finest color reproductions. Likewise are photos of wild flowers, birds and animals. This volume is an excellent start on a month's vacation in the west, from the armchair, to the driver's seat, to the tent-houses.
