New Mexico and Arizona State Parks: A Complete Recreation Guide

The National Parks are great, and they get all the glory, but it will repay you to visit some of the excellent state parks of the Southwest. This book gives the critical information to do so--How to get there, sketch maps of important routes and sites in each park, and brief summaries of the human and/or natural history that caused each park to be established. Recommended.

Don and Barbara Laine have done an outstanding job in this book. I live in New Mexico and we just bought a camper, so I went to the library to get some book on where to go camping. I borrowed a couple of guides for the Southwest, but this book is the only one that anybody ever needs. Every State Park is listed in detail, even little maps for each Park are included. Furthermore they tell you exactly what to expect from each park and what there is to do. This comes in handy when travelling with kids. Equipped with this book we already went to 2 State Parks and found exactly what the Laines had described. This book is a must have for anybody that wants to explore Arizona and New Mexico.
