The National Parks: America's Best Idea by Dayton Duncan, Ken Burns

3.0

I’ve been cranking through some audiobooks on maternity leave because I need some hands free options. Non-fiction tends to be the best route for my attention span for some reason. With all the things in the news about National Parks, I thought this was a good choice for learning more about “America’s Best Idea.”

Granted, there were 13 sections, a typical no-no for me, even if it is interesting. However, I have a LOT of time to kill in the wee hours of the morning for 20 minute stretches so I kept plugging along. It did get a little long even with all my spare time.

Also, yes, thanks for the reference to Niagara Falls. A visit there, sure, you see how majestic it is, but it’s also super depressing because it’s a tourist trap. Probably the best advertisement for National Parks that I know.
