Book description
Striking photos and personal, experiential stories lure park rookies and obsessives alike to the rustic charm of America's National Park lodges.Max Humphrey shines a light on 10 rustic National Park lodges in all their airy, timeworn splendor. No historic photos here; the images of the architecture and interiors are as they look today, highlighting these storied places in a fresh, alluring way. Sure, the lobbies are the main stage, but Humphrey touches on grand dining rooms, guest rooms, and rustic canteens alike. He writes about the buildings themselves in terms of the historical goings-on at the time, why they were built, and the players involved, highlighting notable architectural moments and period-specific furnishings. A smattering of pop culture history adds extra bursts of levity throughout.Lodges and national parks included: The Ahwahnee, Yosemite National Park, California Crater Lake Lodge, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon Curry Village, Yosemite National Park, California El Tovar, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona Lake McDonald lodge, Glacier National Park, Montana Lake Quinault Lodge, Olympic National Park, Washington The Oasis, Death Valley NP, California Old Faithful Inn, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming Paradise Inn, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington Zion Lodge, Zion National Park, Utah

Listening to audiobooks has become my guilt-free indulgence, and I love it. The app is so user-friendly. Even my grandma can use it! The app is so reliable. Iβve never had any issues with it. Fairly enjoyable, but forgettable. I didnβt have any major complaints, but I also donβt see myself revisiting this one. It was a decent way to spend a few hours, though. This served its purpose as background listening while I worked. I probably missed some details but the narrator's voice was pleasant enough.
