Jim White: I so enjoyed accompanying the author on his travels to all the National Parks. This was especially meaningful to me during a summer that I was very ill and mostly unable to even leave my patio other than doctors appointments. Thank you for this lovely book!

Mom in Texas: I love our national parks, and I enjoy collecting travel books that explain in detail all the amazing things you can see and do when you visit the parks. This is NOT one of those books! I think that expectation is why some reviewers were disappointed, but it's right there in the title -- this is a STORY about the author's "journey" through the parks and how it impacted him. I personally appreciated this twist on the typical national parks book because it is unique, not just another book like we have all read before.

Mills: If you’re looking for a detailed guide to America’s National Parks, this isn’t the book for you.However, if your looking for some uplifting content with amazing facts about nature and the history of some of the parks - pick it up!
Conor Knighton’s narrative is engaging, beautiful, and funny. I read a chapter a day and I always seemed to be happier after reading. It’s definitely fuelled my excitement to go exploring and travelling to see the amazing sights he’s written about
