National Parks of the Northwest: Olympic & Mt. Rainier

It not only looks like Paradise, but a section of Mt. Rainier National Park actually bears that name, while a scant 100 miles away visitors to Washington State will also discover another national treasure, Olympic National Park, likewise teeming with unique flora and fauna and picture-perfect scenery. Beginning with a general historical introduction to this area of the Pacific Northwest, National Parks of the Northwest: Olympic & Mt. Rainier continues with separate chapters devoted to each park, highlighting special features (mountains, rainforests, coastline, etc.) while also presenting wonderful close-up views of wildlife. A nicely produced visual treat that will surely appeal to those armchair travelers who can't make it to Paradise themselves, this is recommended. Aud: P. (R. Reagan)
