A visual odyssey through America's most spectacular national parks and public lands--from iconic parks like Yosemite, Glacier Bay, Denali, the Everglades, and the Grand Tetons, to the lesser-known gems of the Dry Tortugas, Congaree, Black Canyon, and the John Day Fossil Beds.

The United States has designated over 800 million acres as public land. Over the last ten years, photographer Jacob W. Frank has boated, climbed, caved, hiked, biked, skied, dog mushed, backpacked, snowmobiled, flown over, and driven through some of the most scenic public lands the U.S. has to offer.

In the pages of this book, Frank invites you to embark on a visual odyssey through the wild beauty of America's public lands. Through stunning photographs, we trace Frank's love affair with the wilderness, beginning with his first internship in Grand Teton National Park to the present day.

Through his lens, we witness the diversity of the natural and cultural resources within our public lands, reminding us of the need to protect them for future generations. Frank's photographs serve as both a celebration of the natural world and a call to action, inspiring us to become stewards of the land and champions for its preservation.
