We are excited to announce the publication of our newest guidebook Monumental America: Your Guide to All 138 National Monuments.  It is now available for sale on Amazon.

The mission of our guidebook is to introduce readers to the diversity of National Monuments by providing information on what makes each of them worthy of protection and how to go about experiencing what they have to offer.  National Monuments cover a broad range of sites of historic and geologic interest from as small as 0.07 of an acre up to 2.2-million acres in size.  

While numerous guidebooks exist for the United States of America’s National Parks, this is the first ever volume dedicated to recreation in all 138 National Monuments.  Altogether, they cover 18.4-million acres of public land across 33 states and territories, plus 759-million acres of ocean in the five expansive Marine National Monuments created since 2006.  Only 40 National Monuments have an entry fee, while the others provide free opportunities to learn about history or enjoy the outdoors.

National Monuments feature internationally recognized icons like the Statue of Liberty, as well as overlooked places that even locals rarely visit.  They protect fossil quarries, historic homes of important Americans, caves open for exploration, sites significant to the Civil Rights Movement, volcanic wonders, relics of indigenous cultures, old military forts, and whitewater rafting spots.  A select few National Monuments have visitor centers and guided tours, while others are undeveloped wildlands encompassing everything from deserts to glaciers, including wetlands, sand dunes, and coastlines that provide habitat for countless species of wildlife.  

Whatever you are interested in, there is a new adventure out there waiting!
