National Parks + A Family Travelogue Adventure
Antonio lopez had an idea...
Antonio Lopez had an idea to take his small family to every national park. That’s how National Parks, came about. Antonio grew up in Albuquerque, moved out of New Mexico for 7 years, and now lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico with his family. He works as a financial advisor and in his writing he explores our national parks.
When avid marathon runner Antonio Lopez
sets off to explore America’s “best idea,” he worried that the whole thing could end up being his worst idea. How could his all-American family get to all 63 National parks? Over the course of 8 years, Antonio, and his family of 3 would visit their first 31 of 63 National Parks.
In National Parks, Lopez shares historical and entertaining episodic dispatches in on ongoing search for self, life, lost ones, on the road trip of a lifetime. Whether the Lopez family is finishing a half marathon in Zion, snorkeling in the Dry Tortugas, or talking to a Marmot in the Grand Teton, Antonio weaves together the type of stories you’re not likely to find in any guidebook. Along the way, this small family from Santa Fe tie all of us to Mother Nature-and reveal how their grand adventure changes the author’s view on everything from a dying mother, the COVID Pandemic, God, and family.
Filled with intriguing facts about our parks and reflections on their fragile future, this first book of two is both a celebration of and a passionate case for the natural wonders that all Americas share.
