It was such an interesting read! I’m lucky enough to live in the Bay Area and was astonished at some of the facts I’ve never heard about redwoods or Yosemite. I’m not even someone who goes to national parks frequently, but I still found this book engaging and accessible. It made my “travel bucket list” grow larger by about 70%!

I really enjoyed this fun, informative book. I've always been fascinated by the woods and parks, etc, although after reading things like Missing 411, I have a healthy(ish) fear of parks. That said, the author did a great job with his storytelling, and I was thankful that the stories were more than just disappearances (although there were some of those, too). Other stories were headlined as things such as "Hidden History", "Infamous Crimes", "Unexplained Phenomena" or "Strange Discoveries", amongst other categories. This book was well thought out, extremely well-researched, and never boring. It will definitely appeal to a certain demographic, but everyone should consider expanding their horizons and giving it a read. They won't regret it.

this fascinating book takes readers inside the crown jewels of America, our national parks. Unfortunately, there have been plenty of murders inside our national parks, and Raiders have the chance to see a different side of the typical, happy families postcard view of the parks.
