Book excerpt: **A New York Times Bestseller!** Based on the wildly popular Instagram account, Subpar Parks features both the greatest hits and brand-new content, all celebrating the incredible beauty and variety of America’s national parks juxtaposed with the clueless and hilarious one-star reviews posted by visitors. Subpar Parks, both on the popular Instagram page and in this humorous, informative, and collectible book, combines two things that seem like they might not work together yet somehow harmonize perfectly: beautiful illustrations and informative, amusing text celebrating each national park paired with the one-star reviews disappointed tourists have left online. Millions of visitors each year enjoy Glacier National Park, but for one visitor, it was simply "Too cold for me!" Another saw the mind-boggling vistas of Bryce Canyon as "Too spiky!" Never mind the person who visited the thermal pools at Yellowstone National Park and left thinking, “Save yourself some money, boil some water at home.” Featuring more than 50 percent new material, the book will include more depth and insight into the most popular parks, such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Acadia National Parks; anecdotes and tips from rangers; and much more about author Amber Share's personal love and connection to the outdoors. Equal parts humor and love for the national parks and the great outdoors, it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves to spend time outside as well as have a good read (and laugh) once they come indoors.

Download or read book A History of the Southern Estes Valley written by Robert Leavitt and published by . This book was released on 2022-05 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few years ago, Carriage Hills resident Bob Leavitt gazed across the Southern Estes Valley from the top of Lily Mountain and wondered how all this development got started (especially Carriage Hills). Then one day, a local historian told Bob, "I think there was an early ranch in the Southern Estes Valley." Intrigued, subsequent research by Bob confirmed that there was indeed an early ranch (the second one in the Estes Valley) and identified the owner as a man named James McLaughlin. Exactly where was it located, and what became of the ranch and its owner? To answer these and other questions, Bob spent several years researching the history of the Southern Estes Valley. Follow his journey as he brings to light fascinating untold stories of the early settlement and subsequent development of the Southern Estes Valley. Most of Carriage Hills was once owned by the Earl of Dunraven as part of his famous land grab in the Estes Valley. The land passed through several owners until it was finally developed as the Carriage Hills subdivision. As Carriage Hills grew to several hundred homes, a fierce battle erupted over the proposed annexation by the Town of Estes Park. Though annexation was ultimately rejected, it involved issues that still resonate today whenever annexation is discussed. The second half of this book details the growth of Carriage Hills and nearby subdivisions from the 1960s to today and includes comments and photos from longtime residents. Who were the first developers in Carriage Hills? When and where were the first homes built? What challenges did the residents face? These and other questions are answered in the second half of the book.
