Arizona National Parks and Monuments

Arizona's national parks and monuments range from places of staggering natural beauty to remarkable historic sites, all set amid wide-open spaces. Spread across the state, the 34 national park units showcase tall cactus deserts, rugged mountains, sparkling lakes and rivers, a forest of fossilized trees, and a life-changing canyon. Historic parks reveal Arizona's storied past, preserving ancient villages and exquisite rock art. Discover Spanish missions, old west forts, Mormon settlements, and a still-operating trading post virtually unchanged in 150 years. Featuring 90 color photographs and maps, Arizona National Parks and Monuments details the nearly three dozen destinations with an overview of what makes each park unique, a thorough description and history, and information about hiking trails, back roads, camping, boating, fishing, tours, and more. A perfect companion volume to his bestselling Arizona State Parks, Roger Naylor's Arizona National Parks and Monuments is the essential guide to curating your unique Arizona experience, written by "the dean of Arizona travel writers."
