Sparked by the opportunity to explore his personal passions, David Kroese turns away from a rewarding yet languishing career and begins the adventure of a lifetime. What happens next evolves into a tour of all four hundred-plus units in America's National Park System -- a perfect way to celebrate the 2016 National Park Service centennial.

The story continues through December 2017, when he becomes one of fewer than fifty people known to have visited all 417 national parks. His personal expedition is a poignant exploration into quintessential America as told through its historical and natural wonders. Delve into diverse locations from Hawaii to the Rockies, New England to the Caribbean, Charleston to the California desert, Alaska to American Samoa. Join David and experience the inherent marvels within America's unique landscape and fascinating history, revealed in engaging context, poetic descriptions, and heartfelt appreciation. The Centennial: A Journey Through America's National Park System is an odyssey of self discovery and fulfillment through the nation's soul.

Arizona’s national parks and monuments range from places of staggering natural beauty to ancient historic sites. They are spread throughout the state, featuring deserts, mountains, sparkling lakes and rivers, canyons, a forest of fossilized trees, and dazzling cliffs and rock formations. The historic parks reveal Arizona’s past, dating back to the Ancestral Puebloan villages and their rock art. There are Spanish missions, old west forts, Mormon forts, stagecoach routes, and a still-operating trading post little changed in 150 years. Featuring ninety color photographs and maps, Arizona National Parks and Monuments details all thirty-four destinations with an overview, a thorough description and history, and information about hiking trails, 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.”
