Looking to create, or broaden, your library of national park reading materials? Add digital copies of National Parks Traveler's Essential Park Guides for just $1.99 per copy.
These full-color digital magazines come out four times a year and highlight seasonal explorations into the National Park System. In our current Essential Guide, for winter 2016-17, you can learn how to enjoy the country's newest national monument, Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Maine, during the snow season.
Download the Essential Park Guide, Spring 2016, and you'll find an article on RVing to Death Valley and Joshua Tree national parks, while the Spring 2015 guide features an article on how to spend three days at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park in Virginia.
You can find the list of available Essential Guides, including our annual Essential Guide to Paddling the Parks, in our eLibrary. On that page you'll find brief descriptions of the content of each guide, along with a list of some of the parks covered in each guide.
You'll also find our eBooks: the Young Explorer's Guide to Yellowstone National Park ($2.99), which prepares inquisitive youngsters for their trip to the world's first national park, and the Young Explorer's Guide to Wildfires ($2.99), which explains how fires in our national parks often start, how they are battled, and the good they sometimes do in cleaning up forests.
We're continuing to add back copies of our Essential Guides, which date to April 2013, and will be adding additional eBooks on the parks, so check the eLibrary occasionally for new titles.

Kurt, will this work for those of us who have a tablet that is not an IPad? Do we just download the PDF file after payment?
Steve, yes, it should work. They're just PDFs. Once you pay you're provided with the download information. Let me know if there's a problem.
Kurt,
What a wonderful service to make available to your readers. With the whole world going digital I was wondering when this would happen. These publications will make a magnificent addition to our libraries for those of us who are interested in our National Parks.
I would like to point out however that everyone already has access to another digatal library, npshistory.com. I now have more that 20,000 NPS reports, magazines, park brochures and other publications on npshistory.com. It can be accessed free of charge. All you need is a computer. I believe npshistory.com is the largest free library on the web for National Park Service material.
If anyone wants to learn more about Canadian national parks then I also have several hundred publications freely available on parkscandahistory.com.
So. all you need is a computer and you can read a virtual library with information about our national parks. I believe the National Parks Traveler's Essential Guides will be a major addition to the library of digital publications now available on the web.
