America the Beautiful?: One Woman in a Borrowed Prius on the Road Most Traveled by Blythe Roberson

funny informative lighthearted reflective medium-paced

3.0

An interesting read that isn’t typically something I would have picked up. The author takes us on a journey to a variety of national parks and this book reads like a journal of these adventures with a lot of facts and information about topics related to her journey. These include discussions of industrial tourism, indigenous reclamation of land use/conservation, capitalism, gatekeeping of natural spaces, and more. I thought it was a lighthearted read which touched on a lot but this wasn’t an all time favorite book to me. I will recommend it to those I know who enjoy nature and exploration though as I think they’d enjoy it.
