WMRA's November Books & Brews features author Tim Davis, discussing his book, National Park Roads: A Legacy in the American Landscape. Have you ever wondered when, why, or how national park roads were built? Many park roads have unique qualities, various factors influencing their design and development, and often shape the national park experience. Hear how these roads affect National parks across the country, from the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive to Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road, Yellowstone's Grand Loop, Yosemite's Tioga Road, and scores of other scenic drives..
