Danny Bernstein makes a great national park buddy as she takes you through the 71 parks in the South. You’ll meet historic figures, rangers, volunteers, park partners and visitors⎯the people who bring each park to life. In her attempt to become a Southerner one park at a time, Danny shows that every national park has a human story as well as great scenery. Visiting the Southeastern parks is a very different experience from the once in a lifetime trip to Yosemite or Yellowstone. Here, folks come often, volunteer, adopt a trail, and support their parks.

“Forests, Alligators, Battlefields: My journey through the national parks of the South” is Danny’s contribution to the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. She’s an engaged, questioning national park companion, who puts a historical and personal spin on her travels. Find out more about Danny at www.hikertohiker.com.
