Reading SCENIC WONDERS OF AMERICA is like having at hand your own personal staff of experts-a naturalist, a geologist, a historian, even a travel agent-to provide you with a panoramic view of America and help you make the most of your precious vacation time. The editors of the Reader's Digest have chosen the 50 most outstanding natural scenic places in America, from the rugged granite headlands of Acadia National Park on the coast of Maine to the wolf-haunted woods of Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota and the vivid barrens of Arizona's Painted Desert. Each of these 50 wonders is described in lively, readable style, in essays packed with useful, authoritative information. You will become acquainted with the creatures of the Everglades, the Rocky Mountains and many other wilderness areas. Geology will come alive for you, in paintings and drawings that show you how Niagara was formed or how Mammoth Cave is still growing. These 552 pages are magnificently illustrated with more than 400 fullcolor photographs, including many extraordinary two-page spreads. Photographs were chosen both for their beauty and their educational value. The aim throughout the book has been to lead you toward a fuller appreciation of our natural wonders. You will see, for example, the full sweep of Niagara in an extraordinary aerial photograph, and, through closeup shots, share the feelings of visitors who approach the thunder and drenching spray of the falls in the boat Maid of the Mist. (continued on back flap) Front Cover Grand Teton National Park, by Hal Rumel
(continued from front flap) Several features have been assembled in one volume to bring you an exciting new concept in vacation planning. Fifty easy-to-read maps specially created for this book show in each area the scenic highways, natural history museums, aquariums, botanic gardens, wildlife sanctuaries, national forests. SCENIC WONDERS OF AMERICA is far more than a handsomely illustrated travel book; it is a longrange vacation planning program. Each of the 50 scenic wonders is accompanied by descriptive paragraphs on about 20 additional places of outstanding natural beauty within a day's drive. Many of these related scenic places are also illustrated by photographs. This adds up to a grand total of more than 1000 places and includes every state in the Union. So you can select one of the 50 wonders and build a whole trip around it. You can visit as many of the surrounding scenic places as you like, go to the museums and other fascinating attractions, and pick the scenic highways to get you there. The photographs, maps and text will help you decide which out of all this treasure of natural beauty we call America appeals to you most- this year. And next year, and the year after that, the rest of America will still be out there waiting for you. Vissza
