"Our latest Owner's Guide, 'The Places Nobody Knows,' invites Americans to take time to explore and enjoy some of the most spectacular, but perhaps less known, landscapes, monuments and memorials America has to offer while taking an active role in preserving their parks," said Neil Mulholland, President and CEO of the National Park Foundation.

The guide helps readers discover new parks to explore by revealing the similarities that well-known national parks share with lesser-known parks. For instance, if you already love Grand Canyon National Park, check out Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Or, if you can't get enough of Yosemite National Park, don't miss out on Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
