Yet they—and many more like them—contain as much of the nation's beauty and portray as vividly the heritage of this great land as do the better known parks visited by so many millions of people every year. This booklet lists those places where you will find almost everything you might see . Miss Tenn Ala in more popular parks—except crowds. I hope that many Americans will visit these lesser used areas of their National Park System. You should have many new and wonderful experiences. And, by avoiding crowds in busier parks, you'll be helping us protect the irreplaceable wonders which are America's Na­ tional Parks.
