In this latest installment of FalconGuides’ Adventures with the Parkers series, the Parkers, an intrepid family of four, journey to southeast Utah to see the “Land of Standing Rocks” and such prominent features as Delicate Arch, Landscape Arch, Park Avenue Skyline, the Needles, and much more. They encounter mountain lions, a dive-bombing blue jay, and wicked desert weather along the way, but it’s not until James makes a surprising discovery that they really connect with the region’s colorful history. Each book in the exciting Adventures with the Parkers series for kids 8–13 explores a popular national park and is packed with adventure as well as engaging and educational facts about nature, outdoor safety, and much more.
