Awesome pictures
I was looking for a nice book with illustrations on National Parks and this is just the book. The pictures are amazing and well worth it.

Our National Parks
I did not see this book as I bought it online as a gift for my daughter.She said it was exactly what she was looking for - a beautiful coffee table book dealing with our national parks.As a professional photographer myself and a former NPS employee, I am very familiar with the work of David Muench and his use of the 8X10 inch view camera to make his images.All of them are beautiful so I imagine this book is too.

From the Great Sand Dunes to Canyonlands, from Carlsbad to Glacier, he's captured our nation's most beautiful land. Great quality book--I immediately wanted to hike up a mountain. ... Read more

Product Description
GRIZZLY BEARS: KATMAI NATIONAL PARK, ALASKA

The last frontier! Come explore REALLY wild wilderness, where you can fly fish, hike the back country, and get close up and personal with Alaskan Bears!

“This is one of the world’s top three natural destinations.”That’s what Gavin Thurston, a 24-year veteran of the BBC’s Natural History Unit, said about Katmai National Park. In a place that offers world-class fly-fishing, unparalleled backcountry hiking, and incredible bear viewing, Katmai has it all. So come spend the day fly-fishing on a remote river or lake. Hike into the Valley of 10,000 Smokes, or, if you dare, witness the bears as they cavort, fish, and play right in front of you.
