Excerpt from A Guide to the National Parks of America You cannot judge a country by its cities alone least of all the United States. New York is typical of nothing except big cities, San Francisco is fast losing its individu ality, New Orleans' atmosphere to-day is more vitiated by progress than it was yester day. And so the national parks remain as the greatest and most individual recreation grounds that any American may visit, whether he cross the water or not. They combine the lure of the outdoors, the appeal of tremendous scenic magnificence, the attractions of geolog ical and archeological study and the observa tion of wild animal life, and the stimulus of being brought face to face with Nature at her best and freest.
