I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but I just came across The Song of Everything: A Poet's Exploration of South Carolina's State Parks by Glenis Redmond and thought if nothing else you may find it interesting!
Here's a catalogue of the National Parks in the list so far and the corresponding books:
Arches: Desert Solitaire Canyonlands: Between a Rock and a Hard Place Everglades: The Everglades: River of Grass Glacier: The White Death Grand Canyon: A Walk in the Park Mount Rainier: Alone in Wonderland North Cascades: The Dharma Bums Shenandoah:A Walk in the Woods Smoky Mountains: A Walk in the Woods Yellowstone: Yellowstone Has Teeth Zion: Death in Zion
This is such a good idea, thank you for this mini list and pinning it for easy reference!
Thank you! And thank you for the recommendations for more books! Hoping to build it out a bit more shortly 🙂
oooo i LOVE this!!!
