Leave Only Footprints: My Acadia-to-Zion Journey Through Every National Park
No full textFrom CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Conor Knighton, a behind-the-scenery look at his year traveling to each of America\u27s National Parks, discovering the most beautiful places and most interesting people our country has to offer.
When Conor Knighton set off to explore America\u27s best idea, he worried the whole thing could end up being his worst idea. A broken engagement and a broken heart had left him longing for a change of scenery, but the plan he\u27d cooked up in response had gone a bit overboard in that department: Over the course of a single year, Knighton would visit every national park in the country, from Acadia to Zion.
In Leave Only Footprints, Knighton shares informative and entertaining dispatches from what turned out to be the road trip of a lifetime. Whether he\u27s waking up early for a naked scrub in a historic bathhouse in Arkansas or staying up late to stargaze along our loneliest highway in Nevada, Knighton weaves together the type of stories you\u27re not likely to find in any guidebook.
Through his unique lens, America the Beautiful becomes America the Captivating, the Hilarious, and the Inspiring. Along the way, he identifies the threads that tie these wildly different places together\u27and that tie us to nature\u27and reveals how his trip ended up changing his views on everything from God and love to politics and technology. Filled with fascinating tidbits about our parks\u27 past and reflections on their fragile future, this book is both a celebration of and a passionate case for the natural wonders that all Americans share.https://egrove.olemiss.edu/umreads/1014/thumbnail.jp
