National Park Brochures

Thanks to Warmer Climates & Geologíca for posting links to these excellent National Park Service brochures from the 1960s.

You can browse through decades’ worth of brochure covers here.  Some of the early documents even contain links to archived electronic versions, including the 1916 National Parks Portfolio, written by wilderness activist and early NPS employee Robert Sterling Yard.

I particularly like the Bighorn Canyon brochure, perhaps because I spent multiple summer weekends there as a child.
