Great Lodges of the National Parks

GREAT LODGES of the NATIONAL PARKS by Christine Barnes COMPANION BOOK to the 2002 PBS Series
An Illustrated History
Join the millions of visitors who hold a special place in their hearts for the Great Lodges that grace America's national parks. Stunning color photographs, historic pictures and architectural drawings take readers inside and behind the scenes of these classis great lodges. Double-page spreads of Yosemite's El Capitan and a composite for Crater Lake are among the national park chapters that focus on the reason these lodges were built. However, the real strength of this illustrated history of the lodges in our parks is Christine Barnes' ability to create a lively story of the conception, design, and completion of each of these lodges, their trials and triumphs, and the need to preserve them for generations to come.

"Most people think about historic preservation that this is about the past. And in reality, historic preservation is about the future. What are the...properties and the resources that are so important to our past that we want to carry them forward into the future for the next generation, and the next generation to see." Jim Garrison, Architect, Arizona State Historic Preservation Office
