Discover the scenic wonders and cultural treasures of Arizona with Roger Naylor’s latest book, Arizona National Parks and Monuments!

 An extraordinary array of national park units—34 in all—blanket Arizona from border to border. They range from the volcanic sprawl of stone hoodoos crowning Chiricahua National Monument to the badlands of Petrified Forest National Park colored like blood and peaches to the miles of seductive shoreline at Lake Mead National Recreation Area to the never-ending diversity of the Arizona National Scenic Trail traversing the length of the state. And yes, there’s a certain canyon that’s pretty impressive, too. 

There is something here to pique everyone’s interest. National monuments like Tonto, Wupatki, and Montezuma Castle hold on tight to our past. Others like Sonoran Desert and Vermilion Cliffs preserve our precious wide-open spaces. And all the parks reconnect us to nature. We hike, bike, kayak, ride mules, bounce down dirt roads, slither through slot canyons, and camp under skies dripping with stars. All that adventure is ours with this new book, Arizona National Parks and Monuments  from author, Roger Naylor!

Here’s a chance to meet the author and learn about the beauty and grandeur this state we all love and call home has to offer! Pepper him with questions about all things AZ National Park related and be ready to plan one heck of an adventure after you’re inspired by this presentation!
