ISBN: 1588340813 ISBN-13: 9781588340818 Publisher: Smithsonian Books OUR PRICE: $20.66 Product Type: Paperback Published: October 2003 Annotation: The complete guide to recreation on the 265 million acres governed by the Bureau of Land Management. This is a beautiful, full-color guide to recreation on the "Public Lands"--those areas under the control of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM). These lands comprise some 265,000,000 acres across twenty seven states, and are particularly prominent in California, Alaska, and Nevada. Lucky for Americans, most of the lands are both wholly unpopulated and within driving distance of roughly half of U.S. residents. Detailed listings provide information on a full range of outdoor activities: biking, fishing, rafting, camping, horse riding, swimming, rock climbing--even dog sledding. Full-color photos and detailed maps explain where the areas are, what to see and do once there, what types of camping are allowed, how to contact the BLM office in charge of that site, and much, much more. A great addition to every outdoor enthusiast's collection, Adventures on America's Public Lands is indispensable for planning that next trip. |
