As someone who enjoys unexplained mysteries AND national parks this was a fun read. The author mixes up the types of odd stories — sightings, hoaxes, and just odd histories. Some of the chapters are stronger than others, like the recounting of John Muir’s hunt for giant redwoods or the Peary’s Denali summit claim. Others feel like they were included to make sure certain parks made the book. Overall, it’s packed of fun facts both about the weird history and about visiting today.
