Abstract
"Introduction
Whether you are planning a long holiday or a short one, the federal lands of the United States offers an almost endless array of choices. Encompassing more than 700 million acres - nearly a third of the nation - this natural legacy preserves a variety of landforms, waterways, and ecological zones unmatched in any other country. From the subtropical swamps of Florida to the glacial wonderlands of Alaska, from meandering scenic drives to rugged mountain wilderness, there is truly something for everyone."
