We just got this beautiful book from the library and have been looking through it. If you love our national parks you should try to find it!
The title is Treasured Lands: A Photographic Odyssey Through America’s National Parks. It is hardcover and quite heavy. There are 456 pages of amazing photos. QT Luong worked on Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan’s documentary The National Parks America’s Best Idea.
I love this part of the description: “In an odyssey that spanned more than 20 years and 300 visits, Luong focused his lenses on iconic landscapes and rarely seen remote views, presenting his journey in this sumptuous array of more than 500 breathtaking images.
Accompanying the collection of scenic masterpieces is a guide that includes maps of each park, as well as extended captions that detail where and how the photographs were made. Designed to inspire visitors to connect with the parks and invite photographers to re-create these landscapes, the guide also provides anecdotal observations that give context to the pictures and convey the sheer scope of Luong’s extraordinary odyssey.”
What a beautiful book! We hope to get up to Glacier National Park this year (unfortunately to visit, not camp). I think that is one of your favorites?

You will love it. Try and do a Red Jammer bus tour of the Going to the Sun road. Should be fully open by July. The waterfalls will be crazy this year since they had a lot of snow.
