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.

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
