Part trail guide, part memoir, and part conversation on the adventure of becoming a senior citizen, this engaging collection of essays offers you fresh perspectives on the parks and new insights into your own coming-of-age.
Scott Spoolman’s Wisconsin State Parks: Extraordinary Stories of Geology and Natural History takes you to twenty-eight parks, forests, and natural areas, highlighting the amazing geologic processes—from ancient volcanoes to massive glacial sheets—that shaped the landscapes we know today.
Randy Hoffman’s Great Nature Wisconsin (coauthored by Cody and Laura Stingley) is an essential guide to nature immersion in Wisconsin, offering hundreds of scenic destinations throughout the state perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, whether you’re planning a vacation getaway or just looking for a nature spot close to home.
