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.
