The Muir Woods Handbook: An Insider's Guide to the Park As Related by Ranger Mia

In this detailed, engaging profile of Muir Woods--a redwood wilderness just north of San Francisco--a cartoon park ranger named Mia shows you places to stay, ways to get around, and activities to enjoy at any time of the year. The book is organized in a convenient question-and-answer format and offers a reference section that includes, among other things, a telephone directory, a guide to area resources, a backpacker's checklist, and an overview of regional educational programs. Susan Frank worked closely with the Muir Woods staff to ensure the accuracy of the text, and cartoonist Phil Frank's deft illustrations add a welcome dose of levity to the book. This is the third in Susan and Phil Frank's Handbook series. Paperbound book, 143 pages, original cartoon on almost every page, size: 5 5/8 x 8 5/8".
