Visit America's National Parks with the Lopez Family
The Lopez family set a large goal: visit all of the American National Parks before their son turned eighteen. Join them on the road trip of a lifetime as Antonio chronicles the challenges, the beauty, and the wonder of traveling across the most beautiful pieces of America.
Part one of this series takes readers to the first thirty-one of sixty-three total parks in the United States. From half marathons in Zion to snorkeling in the Dry Tortugas and chatting with marmots in the Grand Tetons, Antonio weaves together stories you won't find in a guidebook.
Along the way, this small family from Santa Fe ties all of us to Mother Nature and reveals how their grand adventure changes the author's view on everything from a dying mother, the COVID-19 Pandemic, God, and family.
Filled with intriguing facts about our parks and reflections on their fragile future, National Parks is both a celebration of and a passionate case for the natural wonders that all Americans share.
