Strange Wonders is Blue Highways meets The National Parks: America’s Best Idea. The book is a deeply personal memoir of a baby boomer’s odyssey of discovery in two journeys through the national parks taken 50 years apart. Illustrated with classic black and white photographs taken by his professional photographer father on the 1962 trip and his own rich color images from the reprise. It is a must read for anyone with an interest in the National Parks, particularly someone who visited a park as a youth.
