National Treasures
| Customer Rating: | | We sometimes forget what an amazing gift we have in these National Parks. But Christine Barnes clearly gets it - her book is a beautiful tribute to these parks and their magnificent lodges. It's a great coffee table book, with stunning photography -- the kind of pictures that make you feel like your there. But the book goes deeper, with detailed history of the parks and the lodges, and the human stories behind them. I hope I can visit all of the parks in this book. In the meantime, I'm glad I have these photos and stories to take me on a virtual vacation. |
Good Historical Piece On American Lodges
| Customer Rating:  | | Fun reading if you are an explorer of the National Parks, which I am. Certainly the most detailed descriptions in general circulation of these historic places. The second edition had a few places in it that I did not know about and have now placed on my list of lodges to stay in. Without a doubt all these places still have great position. For example the Many Glacier Lodge was the most dramatic nature setting of any hotel I have ever stayed in. This includes some really fabulous places in Europe. But the level of the rooms does tend to vary. Check Frommers, AAA, or others to get a sense of what the room quality may be. Frankly with some like the Many Glacier, it did not matter. But to those wanting to stay at a "Four Seasons" level accommodation in a National Park you may not be happy. |
She's Done It Again!
| Customer Rating: | | When I saw GLNP on PBS, I was surprised to find that Christine Barnes had yet again discovered more national treasures to share with us all. I have all of her books, and like the earlier ones, she makes these lodges come alive in so many ways. I suggest you only read one chapter at a time, then let the experience sink in overnight. The photography by itself tells a story with a great selection of photos including priceless historical shots. Those who appreciate history will not be disappointed as the author covers each topic in an accurate, but interesting way. Architects will appreciate the detail and early renderings. And finally, for those who are looking for new places for the family vacation, this book is a must. I visited many of the lodges featured in her previous books, both in the US and Canada. I can assure you there is nothing artificial about any of these places. As they say, they are the "real deal" and part of our history we can all be proud of and experience ourselves |
