I would suggest that TD's who lead tours to the national parks become members of the
National Parks Conservation Association. This includes a magazine every two months
and valuable information about our park system. http://www.npca.org/
I am been a member for over 20 years and the information is very valuable.

Were you able to get the power point presentation from Josh Adams? He said that he
was more than happy to share it with us.

Thanks,

Terri

My favorite website is http://www.wnpa.org

Park book I might need, including a great selection of kids books. I have a

shows.

Tour guides/directors are always looking for the best resources for their tour
destinations. With this in mind, we would  like you to share which travel
books(guides, novels, biographies) that you have found most beneficial and
interesting. 

We will start with the WESTERN NATIONAL PARKS this week.  In future weeks, we will
request resources from other North American and International destinations until we
have covered them all.  We will then post them by region on our website for your
future reference. 

We hope that all of you will get involved so that we will end up with a wonderful
TOUR RESOURCE LIBRARY ONLINE. 

So this week, please share your favorite books on the WESTERN NATIONAL PARKS. 

P.S.  We intend to do the same for website resources soon!
