Happy National Park Week! This is a week proclaimed by the President as a time to celebrate and recognize national and state parks, national monuments and historic sites in the United States.

Thus, we offer up an awesome guide on the very first National Park in the U.S. - Yellowstone!

Chapple's recommendations are based are real experiences - she has spent many summer months in the park, hiking every single trail that she suggests. Consequently, this is a terrific guide - comprehensive, well organized and easy to use.
