Mysteries of the National Parks: 35 Stories of Baffling Disappearances, Unexplained Phenomena, and More
Mike Bezemek (Expected publication date-May 6, 2025)
I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley. I was very excited to read it because I am a lover of our country’s National Park System (NPS) and have visited several of the sites. The book contains 35 stories that are related to different NPS sites. The stories range from the mystery of the Upheaval Dome formation (Canyonlands National Park, Utah) to a US Airforce pilot’s disappearance in Kings Canyon National Park and everything in between. Some of the events the author wrote about are well known (Abraham Lincoln’s assassination) while others are lesser known (the disappearance of the crew of an L-8 blimp). Each chapter also has snippets of information about the featured parks. Since each chapter focused on a different mystery, it was easy to set it down and pick it back up without any issues. I will admit that some stories grabbed at me more than others. Overall, I enjoyed this book and think other fans of NPS will find it interesting.
